Sambosa leaves 500g

Candy Sambosa Leaves are expertly crafted to provide the perfect balance of flexibility and crispness. These ultra-thin pastry sheets are a staple in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, commonly used for preparing samosas, spring rolls, and various fried or baked appetisers. Their light texture ensures a crispy finish while maintaining a delicate bite, making them an essential ingredient for traditional and contemporary recipes alike.

Each pack contains 500g of ready-to-use pastry sheets, pre-cut to an ideal size for ease of preparation. Simply fill, fold, and cook to enjoy freshly made, flaky, and delicious sambosas at home.

Instructions for Use:

1. Defrost if frozen: If stored in the freezer, allow the sambosa leaves to thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes before use.
2. Prepare the filling: Choose a savoury or sweet filling of your choice, ensuring it is fully cooled before use.
3. Folding & Sealing: Place a spoonful of filling onto the pastry, fold into your desired shape (typically a triangle or roll), and seal the edges with a flour paste or beaten egg.
4. Cooking Options:
   • Deep Frying: Heat oil to 170-180°C and fry until golden brown.
   • Baking: Brush with oil or butter and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6) until crisp.
   • Air Frying: Lightly brush with oil and air fry at 180°C for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.

Information:

• Sambosa leaves are different from filo pastry – they are more robust, making them easier to handle, yet light enough to achieve a crisp texture when cooked.
• A common ingredient during Ramadan, sambosas are traditionally served at Iftar, the meal that breaks the daily fast.
• These leaves can also be used to make dessert pastries, such as sweet nut-filled rolls or creamy parcels drizzled with honey.
