Frequently Asked Questions
Twelve, in a 300gm pack — so around 25g each. That covers a family tea comfortably, or guests with a few left over.
180°C for 3 to 5 minutes, from frozen, until golden brown. That's Paragon's own instruction and it's worth following precisely — the temperature matters more than the clock.
The oil was too hot. At high heat the pastry browns in under a minute while the filling is still frozen, so it looks done and isn't. Drop the heat to medium, aim for 180°C, and let the colour build gradually. If you're unsure, fry one first and cut it open.
The opposite problem — oil not hot enough. Cool oil soaks into the pastry instead of sealing it. Get the oil properly up to temperature before the first one goes in, and don't crowd the pan, which drops the temperature sharply.
No, fry from frozen. Thawed singara go soft, the pastry loses its structure, and they can split open in the oil.
Beef liver, potato, onion, ginger, spices and herbs. The pastry is flour, water, oil and salt.
Less than you might expect. The potato in the filling carries the liver and softens it, so it's savoury and rich rather than overpowering. If you like the idea of kolija singara but find liver on its own too much, this is the easier version.
They're close cousins, not the same thing. Bengali singara tends to be smaller with a crisper, sturdier pastry and a potato-based filling; samosa is usually larger with a softer wrapper and more often a minced meat filling. In practice most households have a firm preference and know it on sight.
Tea, first and foremost. A sharp tamarind or coriander chutney cuts the richness nicely, and kasundi works well too.
Paragon's instruction is deep frying, which is what gives singara pastry its proper texture. An air fryer will cook them through and they'll be lighter, but the pastry won't blister and crisp the same way. If you go that route, brush them lightly with oil first.
