Samosas freeze really well.
Over here I can buy ready-made pastry discs which, when cut into halves, are perfect for making samosas. I just bought a kg packet yesterday and I'm thinking of spending a nice relaxing afternoon this week making about 70 samosas.

...and that's definitely the best. However, I was once asked to make 800 samosas, about 15 years ago, and I thought, blow that for a game of soldiers, let me try with the ready-made pastry. Client (who was from India) approved, so I've never looked back!

Dunno if it will help, because it's sold over here in the supermarkets to make "empanadas". You take a circle of the pastry ( a kilo pack's got about 30 discs) fill it with minced meat,or chicken, or cheese, or cheese and beans, then fold it over and seal it. From what I see, I think it's probably 100 gms flour, 20 gms veg shortening, salt and water. There are several brands, but the supermarket (Plaza's Supermarket) brand is the best I've tried.

I used some leftover steak from yesterday and made some steak quesadillas. No photo -- they look like any other quesadillas.
