Samosarie | Toronto Samosas | beef samosas | chicken samosas


All of our samosas, empanadas, patties, panzos, pakoras and cookies are available frozen for you to heat at your own convenience at home or at a party.

FOR RAW UNCOOKED SAMOSAS/EMPANADAS/PATTIES: Deep fry only for 4 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit

FOR RAW UNCOOKED PANZOS: Deep fry only for 2 minutes 30 seconds at 375 degrees Fahrenheit

FOR PAR-FRIED FROZEN SAMOSAS/EMPANADAS/PATTIES/PANZOS: oven @ 450 degrees Fahrenheit:

  • for best results, spray or lightly brush with canola/vegetable oil (not olive oil).
  • arrange flatly on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Do not stack or crowd the sheet pan.
  • NOTE TO CATERERS/RESTAURANTS/PROFESSIONALS - maximum of 81 samosas (9 rows of 9) per full sheet pan or 80 empanadas (10 rows of 8)
  • 4 to 5 minutes from thawed (preferred)
  • 6 to 7 minutes from frozen
  • let sit for 5 minutes for crispiness to take hold 
  • For our panzos, if you wish to have a gooey-er cheese, lower the heat to 375 and let bake for 15 minutes.  
  • ALTERNATIVE FOR DEEP or AIR FRYERS:  @ 375 degrees (2 minutes 15 seconds from thawed, 3 minutes for frozen) - this will yield the best results and quickest service.

FOR PAKORAS - oven @ 425 degrees Fahrenheit:

  • 7 minutes from thawed (preferred method)
  • 9 to 13 minutes from frozen
  • ALTERNATIVE FOR DEEP FRYERS:  @ 375 degrees (1 minute from thawed - never from frozen)

Cookies - 375 degrees

  • 8 to 10 minutes from frozen
