Can you make and freeze samosas? Definitely, make small batches, make some and keep them in the freezer until you make some more. When all your samosas are frozen, put them in a ziploc, carefully seal and store in freezer. They can be stored upto 6 months.
Ingredients for Homemade Frozen Samosa:
- Refined flour – 1 cup (125 gms)
- Semolina – 1/4 cup (50 gms)
- Oil – 2 tbsp
- Carom seeds – 1/4 tsp
- Paneer – 150 gms
- Grated processed cheese/ Mozzarella cheese – 1/2 cup (50 gms)
- Green chili – 1 (finely chopped)
- Black pepper – 1/4 tsp (coarsely ground )
- Salt – 1/2 tsp (or to taste)
- Oil – for frying
Pastry The pastry needs to have enough fat to get it light and crispy. When youâve made it, cover with a damp cloth and rest for 30 minutes to make it easier to roll and flakier. You shouldnât need any extra flour when rolling out â if itâs sticking, use a little oil.
Cooking The oil needs to be hot enough that a little ball of dough dropped in will bubble straight away and float to the surface (if the temperature is too low the pastry will absorb the oil). Once itâs at the optimum temperature, reduce to a low heat and fry the samosas until golden. You can also bake them, brushed with a little oil.

How do you store homemade samosa?
How do you reheat frozen samosas?
Can frozen samosas go bad?
Can you freeze cooked samosas?
Allow cooked samosas to cool fully to room temperature prior to freezing. Wrap samosas individually in foil or plastic wrap to keep separated. Wrapping them in smaller portions (2-3) is also fine. Once they have been wrapped, place into airtight containers or into plastic storage freezer bags, whichever you prefer.
Is it healthy to eat samosa?
Samosa is the Indian pastry, full of flavors and infinite fillings, just like in Brazilian cuisine. As in the form of preparation it is fried in oil, in this way it should be consumed in moderation.
How long do samosas last in the freezer?
Cooked Samosas will last for up six months in the freezer. After this time, they might start to deteriorate. The pastry can become more brittle and the filling might lose some of its flavour. Food that’s left in the freezer for a long time can also become more susceptible to freezer burn. Samosas should be defrosted in the fridge.
Do samosas need a tray before freezing?
Now that your samosas are prepared and cooled, it’s time to give them a little solo space before they cozy up in the freezer. Properly arranging the samosas on a tray might seem like a small step, but it plays a significant role in ensuring that each samosa retains its individuality during freezing.
