Meat Chamuças

A bit of history: Samosas, cousins of the chamuça, arrived in Portugal with explorers, bringing with them a touch of exoticism. Over the centuries, they have become integrated into the local culinary culture, reinventing themselves according to the influences and ingredients available. Our chamuças pay homage to this history, a harmonious blend of old and new.

Storage: keep 3 to 4 days in the fridge; reheat for 5 to 7 minutes in the oven or air fryer at 180 °C.

Wondering which is which? We published the guide: Empada, chamuça, rissol: which is which?.

Our meat chamuça is filled with meat slow-cooked in yellow curry, in a thin pastry fried until golden. Eat it warm, with your fingers, in two or three bites, on its own or with our rissóis and empadas. You will find it in our four shops and online, with in-store collection ready in 45 minutes.
