Salgados offer a diverse range of savory flavors, from creamy chicken and cheesy fillings to seasoned ground beef and hearts of palm. The flavor profiles are generally rich and satisfying, often enhanced by herbs, spices, and the crispy, golden-brown exterior achieved through frying.
The flavor of coxinha largely depends on the chicken filling, usually shredded and seasoned with onions, garlic, parsley, and sometimes catupiry cheese. Risoles exhibit flavors based on the fillings, like cheese and ham, ground beef, or shrimp, frequently incorporating herbs and spices. Pastéis are known for their crispy, flaky crust and diverse fillings, ranging from ground beef and cheese to hearts of palm and pizza-style toppings, reflecting a mix of savory and sometimes slightly sweet or spicy notes depending on the filling.

Dough Consistency
For pastéis, use a dough that is thin and elastic for a crispy crust. Avoid overworking the dough, which can make it tough.
Frying Temperature
Maintain a consistent oil temperature during frying (around 180°C or 350°F) to achieve a golden-brown color and prevent the salgados from becoming soggy.
Filling Moisture
Ensure the filling is not too wet to prevent the salgado from becoming soggy. Drain excess liquid from fillings like ground beef or shrimp before enclosing them in the dough.
