Crisp pastry parcels filled with chickpeas in a spiced masala-style filling, these come as a frozen snack or light meal. They're usually baked from frozen until the pastry turns golden and the centre is hot through. In Co-op's frozen range, they sit closer to samosa-style bites than a full meal, with a dry, flaky exterior and a soft, savoury filling. The chickpeas give the centre some bite, while the spice mix does the heavy lifting on flavour. Cumin, coriander and turmeric are typically in the blend, giving each parcel a warm, aromatic quality without too much heat. Because of their size, they work well as a starter, a side dish, or part of a mezze-style spread with dips and salad alongside.
