time to stock up for Ramadan!

these are ok for the money but I wouldn't buy them to give to the visiting aunties ... they'll be calling you cheap behind your back, before they've even left your house!

let them call you cheap..... you can't please all if the people some of the time or some of the people all if the time.!!

Aunties usually gossip and back bite no matter what :disappointed:

It doesn't make you lazy if you don't make your own. That's like saying your lazy if you buy milk in a bottle cos you're too lazy to milk a cow!

sounds like u need to get out more and eat proper samosas. to give u an example these are like a Datsun compared to a Ferrari... but I suppose each to their own. there's not much filling but the main issue is even the filling is tasteless..

My local English Asian shop used horse meat never been caught yet :innocent:

stop it!

Enjoy!

Also Hamza charcoal lb and chicken kebabs. Pack of 15 half price in Asda £3.75 really good

This would have plummeted to minus 300 deg had 'halal' been in the title - clearly not picked up by the Misc crew

Although I have deep-fried samosas in the past, I am looking into buying a Phillips airfryer and airfrying samosas. But, the only issue is how do I justify buying a 100 quid Aifryer to fry 5 quid worth of samosas ?

No not for me cheap stuff
You can't go wrong with home made

Dont think airfried samosas would taste the same in the same way that airfried chips taste closer to oven chips than fried ones.

Havent tasted these samosas personally but someone told me they're "ok" and not as good as Raja's (which I like but they have gotten very small recently). My favourite ones are Humza samosas which they used to sell in our local tesco for a time- think they sell them at morrisons but havent got a chance to check.

I think the fat is part of what gives a samosa its texture and flavour. I honestly don't think you can make a healthy samosa that actually tastes anywhere near as nice as a deep fried samosa - even if you can make something that looks like one. By the same way I've found that if you skimp on the fat in a curry or a ragù it simply doesn't taste as nice. I'm happy to be proven wrong but not sure I'd want to have to pay for an air dryer just to find out!

I'm not disagreeing with your comment but that video is such a a biased advert! Also, I think the samosas looked quite dry but I'm sure they would be quite palatable.

Would the non specific meat stuff and whatever meat they happen to put in these also be halal?

I'm always suspicious of food stuffs labelled non specific "meat" flavour.

Well, quick Youtubing led me to this video :

So, if a fresh raw samosa can be cooked in an aifryer, the frozen ones should also cook just fine

Good for people with big families especially Ramadan when it's too much effort for my mum to cook everyone food

These are better than your average samosas you get in a supermarket. You need to deep fry them, you can't oven bake them so make sure you use a good healthy rapeseed oil rather than a synthetic processed lard with added sodium. I likes 'em.

'meat'

It doesn't make you lazy if you don't make your own. That's like saying your lazy if you buy milk in a bottle cos you're too lazy to milk a cow!

I only buy Nisa's, the meat/Chicken content is over 70%, more expensive then the others but worth it!

Always this price

Just reading the comments on here, didn't realize there would a bit of a debate over samosas :laughing:

Indian samosa :


Indian Punjabi samosas ( veg )


Pakistani samosa
Couldn't find a photo. But these are massive, bigger than the punjabi samosas!

Bengal samosa ( filled with potato and peas )

This was last year though

I can say these are very tasty especially the chicken ones. Fresh peas and the size was not so small. I think these are one of the best available in supermarkets. (In my opinion)

time to stock up for Ramadan!

This is in Derby, so probably cheaper depending on where you go.

Are these meant to be deep fried? Can't imagine they taste that great if they're oven cook.

Local Indian shops near me charge hardly anything for their samosa and they're delicious. I think last time I picked up 40 for my birthday at work it cost £18. Obviously not as cheap as this but no cooking and I bet they're a lot tastier. If these end up like the usual supermarket ones then they are nothing like real samosas.

On the other hand if these really do taste like ones you'd buy in an Indian 'cafe' then they are a great price.

Heat for the price. We buy Nisha one. £10.99 for 50 but nothing beats home made ones. <3

these are crap.. don't waste your money

You should look at the meat content in these - its around 12%. Then they pad it out with soya and veg. So you get what you pay for. The most meat content I've seen in any (halal) samosas is around 45% in the ones stocked by CostCo although unfortunately they taste very bland. Still not found a decent frozen samosa with an acceptable meat percentage.

Are these any good - taste wise?

Can't imagine much meat is included for 9.5p a samosa

Chickens not that nice but meat and vegetable are good, maybe because I have homemade which is better but I don't like the chicken somasa

mmmmm my samosa

Heat for the proper Asian aunty comments :P

Look, if I win the election I intend to buy 200 of these for ...... £1.56, I mean erm erm hang on erm, £3.37million....

I make my own but it's quite time consuming. Never had these but look ok for a quick snack out of the freezer when you only want one or two, as opposed to feeding the family. Good price, nothing to lose!

Yuckhhhhiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee! :confused:

Some place down East ham back in the days. The place got closed down but now I only buy from places I know are legit. A place down Ilford lane also got shut down for food hygiene issues.

no leaves to much oil after fry on samosas

these are ok for the money but I wouldn't buy them to give to the visiting aunties ... they'll be calling you cheap behind your back, before they've even left your house!

no... they're very tasty, especially the chicken ones.

Most asian sweet centres will charge around 25p for 1 if you buy in 10s with free chutney and cooked on site, for a superior samosa, that price for veg ones anyway

Heat for blackburn

:confused: what cat food? Are you serious...where was this?

Saw some roohafza and dates as Ramadan special while shopping in Morrisons yesterday if anyone's interested...don't know how much they were though... :smiley:

Our local shops back in the day used premium cat food ... for the fillings, they got busted by local authorities then word spread. I give these frozen ones a try....

These are not good, I would much rather make my own. Of you can't be arsed making the pastry you can just buy filo pastry.

mattas bold street liverpool used to nice samosas. not been lately due illness

As I said, each to their own :wink:

Shop one's cost like a £1 or more a pop. You're comparing £50+ worth to this, a fraction of the price.

Shop obviously going to use more premium materials and make it more filling. This is decently sized and fine.

It's not coz they are not fresh but other reasons such as it's quiet small and the filling is too little. The filling does not taste as good. In short not even close to the shop ones.

Of course they won't taste as good to the fresh ones but for the price you can't go wrong.

Sarcasm? I actually like them. At least suggest better ones otherwise.

they r good

Try having samosa with tea, banging. Or ketchup. Hmm.

What store was this please??
