Samsa with chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! While this recipe calls for chicken, you can easily substitute ground lamb, beef, or even turkey. Just ensure the meat is cut into small cubes or ground for even cooking.
If you don't have sesame seeds, you can skip them entirely, or you could use poppy seeds, nigella seeds (kalonji), or even a sprinkle of coarse salt for a similar visual appeal and subtle flavor.
Leftover samsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
Yes, you can freeze them either way! To freeze before baking, assemble the samsa and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding about 10-15 minutes to the baking time. To freeze after baking, let the samsa cool completely, then freeze as above. Reheat in the oven for best results.
To make a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with a mixture of finely diced vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and peas. You can also add cooked lentils or chickpeas for protein. Season generously with spices for a flavorful filling.
If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of cold water at a time until it comes together. If it's too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it's manageable. Remember that the dough should be relatively firm, not sticky.
Yes, you can definitely make the dough ahead of time. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before rolling it out.
