COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Thaw frozen sheets in the refrigerator for several hours or at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before use.
- 2Keep the pastry sheets you are not immediately working with covered under a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out and becoming brittle.
- 3Create a slurry of flour and water to use as an edible glue to seal the edges of the pastry, preventing the filling from leaking during cooking.
- 4For a crispier, less oily result, brush the assembled samosas with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) or air fry until golden brown and cooked through.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Store frozen pastry sheets in their original packaging in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) for up to 6 months.
- Once thawed, keep refrigerated in an airtight container or plastic wrap and use within 2-3 days. Do not refreeze thawed sheets.
FAQ

Are samosa pastry sheets healthy?
Samosa pastry sheets are a source of quick energy due to their high carbohydrate content from refined flour. While they are low in fat, their overall healthiness depends on the filling and cooking method; choosing nutrient-dense fillings and baking instead of frying makes them a much healthier snack.
How many calories and carbs are in samosa pastry sheets?

Are samosa pastry sheets vegan?
Most commercially available samosa pastry sheets are vegan, as they are typically made from wheat flour, water, salt, and vegetable oil. However, you should always check the ingredient list to ensure no ghee or egg products were used in the specific brand you are buying.
Are samosa pastry sheets gluten-free?
No, standard samosa pastry sheets are not gluten-free because they are made from refined wheat flour (maida). Individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance should look for specialty wrappers made from rice flour or other gluten-free alternatives.
Can I use samosa pastry sheets for keto or low-carb diets?
Samosa pastry sheets are not suitable for keto or strict low-carb diets because they contain 65g of carbohydrates per 100g. Since they are made from refined flour, they have a high glycemic index and can impact blood sugar levels.
How do I prevent samosa pastry sheets from drying out while cooking?
To keep the sheets pliable, keep them covered with a damp (not wet) clean kitchen towel while you work. Only remove one sheet at a time to prevent the air from making the others brittle and prone to cracking.
Can I bake or air-fry samosa pastry sheets instead of deep-frying?
Yes, baking or air-frying is a great way to reduce the fat content of your snack. Simply brush the prepared samosas lightly with oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) until they are golden brown and crispy.
How should I store leftover samosa pastry sheets?
Leftover sheets should be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight Ziploc bag to prevent them from drying out. They can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days or kept in the freezer for longer storage.
Can I freeze samosa pastry sheets?
Yes, samosa pastry sheets freeze very well. If you have opened the package, ensure they are sealed airtight to avoid freezer burn; thaw them completely in the refrigerator before attempting to separate the layers.
What else can I make with samosa pastry sheets besides samosas?
These sheets are highly versatile and can be used to make spring rolls, crispy wontons, or even sweet desserts like apple turnovers. You can also cut them into strips and bake them to create crunchy crackers for dips or salads.
