Questions about Lamb samosa
How do you fry lamb samosas so they turn crisp without burning?
Heat oil to about 175°C and fry a few at a time for 3–4 minutes, turning them until evenly golden. Drain on a rack or kitchen paper; overcrowding the pan cools the oil and can leave the pastry greasy.
Can you bake lamb samosas instead of frying them?
Yes. Brush or spray them lightly with oil and bake at 200°C for about 20–25 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden; check that the lamb filling is steaming hot all the way through.
How do you reheat lamb samosas and keep the pastry crisp?
Reheat them in an oven at 180°C for about 10–15 minutes, or until piping hot in the centre. A microwave warms them quickly but softens the pastry.
How should you store leftover lamb samosas?
Cool them promptly, refrigerate in a covered container and eat within two days. Reheat only once, until piping hot throughout; freeze leftovers if you will not eat them in that time.
What do you serve with lamb samosas?
Mint or coriander chutney and tamarind chutney are classic accompaniments. They also work well as a starter with a crisp salad, or alongside dal and rice for a more filling meal.
What is the difference between a lamb samosa and lamb kheema?
A lamb samosa is spiced minced lamb wrapped in pastry, while lamb kheema is the minced-lamb filling served as a dish, often with peas or bread and without a pastry shell. Per 100 g, lamb kheema has 178 kcal compared with 288 kcal in lamb samosa.
Does a lamb samosa usually contain meat inside the pastry?
Yes: the filling is generally minced lamb cooked with spices, often with onion and sometimes peas or potato. Recipes differ, so if you are avoiding a particular ingredient, check the filling and pastry rather than relying on the name alone.
