I have some frozen samosa's and it says to deep fry in cooking oil 10 min soo...?

Question

does that mean i put them in saucepan full of oil for 10 min? lol

Answer 1

You need enough oil in the bottom of a pan where they can float. If you use a sauce pan fill it up until it is a couple of inches deep. Depending on the pan size how much oil you need. Turn it on Med High and fry them a few at a time!

Answer 2

No, you need to get something like a wok...a saucepan is not made for deep frying.

Answer 3

Yes, but your oil needs to be hot hot hot!

Answer 4

As long as the oil is very hot 10 mins is fine, you can tell there ready when they go brown.  Please let me know i'll be round to test them for you haha.

Answer 5

I find that slightly defrosting frozen samosas is good as placing them frozen in hot oil tends to leave the middle of the samosas cold and sometimes even frozen. The oil shouldn't be so hot as smoking, no way will the inside be heated thoroughly!

Just ensure the oil continues to bubble consistently whilst the samosas are in, and don't add to many as it'll bring the temperature of the oil down, in turn making the samosas absorb more oil and making them soggy.

Cook until golden brown. They say 10 minute but thats just a guideline. Sometimes they don't need that long!

Hope that helps.

Answer 6

if you dont have a deep fryer put some oil in a pan and flip them after 5 minutes

make sure oil is 1/2 inch up pan and it has to be super hot..look for smoke

Answer 7

The oil should cover them and needs warming up first. Dont you have a chip pan or deep fat fryer?
