Do hot peppers lose their potency when frozen?

I can't imagine how the frozen state of the pepper would negate the peppers level of capsaicin, the source of heat for peppers.

Well, either my husband and I have Covid and now have no sense of taste or they lose their potency when frozen. 11 chili peppers for a pound of meat and 6 of those are 2" ghost peppers?!

Maybe using dried would have been better.

I don't know, but I don't eat meat samosas.

In Southampton many newsagents and small corner shops ars owned by people of Indian descent and samosas a readily available.

They're so much better than those sold in supermarkets, but they tend to be meat or vegetable and the meat ones are all lamb.

I can't abide lamb so I always have veggie.

Question: how long were they frozen? I can’t imagine they’d lose much strength unless it was frozen for maybe 3-6 months or so.

Oh, much longer than that, Ragman. I freeze them because you can't always get them and you can't buy them singly. I think I'm going to have to throw them into the Green Bin and buy fresh.

I have a friend on the West Coast, I'll ask him....get back to you later.

Thanks, GB....wait! You have a friend?

So I used Serenna's Samosa Wrappers which are pretty much like making your own dough. They have the feel of a wonton wrapper but are much flakier. One package of 25 wrappers is good for 2 lbs of filling.

I just made them and while not as 'hot spicy' as I would like, they're edible. I think the Tbsp of cayenne is what gave it the heat, not the peppers.

If anyone's interested in making Indian food, check out a youtube site featuring Manjula. That's where I got my samosa dough recipe. Using the wrappers is faster and they taste just the same. And they're inexpensive.
