Try frying at a slightly lower temperature than you would if you were fry freshly-made samosas. What that will do is let the stuffing thaw and heat through while the outer shell is fried to a lovely golden color. Fry one samosa first as a test and only then fry the rest.</i>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-91287618035483958912012-10-10T00:13:04.218-06:002012-10-10T00:13:04.218-06:00Hi Manisha,

However, I ran into a problem when I tried to freeze them, and then fry without thawing. The center seemed to remain frozen even when the outer cover had cooked to the perfect color. I've never fried anything directly from the freezer before. So, any tips would greatly help. <br /><br />Thank you!<br />Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416449337883349779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-32211623983982365172012-06-04T10:39:17.024-06:002012-06-04T10:39:17.024-06:00Joyce, they certainly can be.

You can also freeze filled samosas and fry them as you need them (without thawing).Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-69334179148608498362012-06-04T01:52:43.700-06:002012-06-04T01:52:43.700-06:00Hi Manisha,

I'm trying to learn the "correct" (French?) way, but I still find myself doing it exactly this way to get very-precise mincing. Maybe it's fine as long as we don't cut ourselves- and for me it's been awhile!Pelicanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858951498917328458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-5588613395607850032011-01-06T12:58:24.024-07:002011-01-06T12:58:24.024-07:00First time here!!Loved the step-by-step procedure ...First time here!!Loved the step-by-step procedure for samosas..Gonna try them soonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444227761163297484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-76314411566941735072010-12-24T15:17:05.001-07:002010-12-24T15:17:05.001-07:00Wow, with the amazing pix, makes me want to rush o...Wow, with the amazing pix, makes me want to rush off & make a batch RIGHT NOW!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-46217426647939628352010-12-22T15:09:15.392-07:002010-12-22T15:09:15.392-07:00Looks delicious... my only regret is that we canno...Looks delicious... my only regret is that we cannot smell the aroma while reading this blog post!Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159539883712835177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-41280371126516533982010-12-21T17:59:20.480-07:002010-12-21T17:59:20.480-07:00well done, Jen! you are continuing a great and int...well done, Jen! you are continuing a great and interesting site. i am sure Manisha would be very pleased. loved the details and photos. hope the peace and happiness of Christmas is with you and yours. regards john k, Tasmania.john k.Tas.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04693612354214803895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-42662105907732561352010-12-17T11:46:47.838-07:002010-12-17T11:46:47.838-07:00very nice post and great pictures.very nice post and great pictures.Sumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475734627448281784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-5964089563823631722010-12-17T11:45:34.517-07:002010-12-17T11:45:34.517-07:00I love potato samosas and these samosas are the pe...I love potato samosas and these samosas are the perfect portion.
