HOW TO FOLD THE SAMOSA?
HOW TO STORE THEM?
Of all the freezer-friendly Pakistani recipes on the blog, this one is particularly versatile. To freeze, simply arrange the samosas in a single layer inside a ziplock bag, leaving about a ¼ to ½-inch gap between each one. Safely seal the ziplock bag and place it horizontally in the freezer, ensuring that the samosas do not touch. Let them freeze for a duration of 30 to 60 minutes. After this initial freezing period, you can space them more liberally in the freezer, as they will no longer stick together, even if they come into contact.
