Chicken Samosa (Indian Snack)

Chicken Samosa Recipe

Ingredients: (Makes 12 mini samosa)

• Boneless chicken – 1 cup (cubed)
• Pepper powder – ½ tsp
• Onion – 1 (finely chopped)
• Ginger garlic paste – 2 tsp
• Chilli Powder – 1 tsp
• Turmeric Powder – ½ tsp
• Coriander Powder – 2 tsp
• Garam masala – 1 tsp
• Salt
• Oil – For deep frying

For the Wrapping:

• Flour/Maida – 1 Cup
• Salt
• Oil
• Water
• Thick paste with water & flour (For sealing)

(Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
Vary the amount of chilli powder as per your spice level
When we are making the masala for stuffing, it taste better when its spicy. The intensity reduces when we fry the samosa)

 

Method: (With Step-by-Step Pictures)

Heat oil in a pan and add finely chopped onion.Once onion becomes soft add ginger garlic paste and sauté for a min. Add all spice powders and sauté for a min or two

 

Add the cooked chicken and mix well (To cook the chicken, in a pan take 1/2 cup of water, add pepper powder, salt and 1 tsp of ginger garlic paste and boil the chicken cubes for 8-10 mins or till its cooked. Remove the chicken pieces and shred cooked chicken cubes into small pieces. Alternatively you can pressure cook the same. Add ¼ cup of water only and go for 1 whistle and remove the cooker from stove.)

 

Saute till it becomes dry and switch of the stove. Now the stuffing part is ready.

 

For the wrapping I used readymade puff pastry ( To make at home, take maida add salt and add water little at a time and make it to a soft dough. Add little oil if its sticking to your hand. Take small portions of it and roll it to circular shape. Cut it into 2 semi circle)

 

The puff pastry I used comes in square shapes. I cut it to two to get triangles.

 

Keep 1 tbsp of the stuffing in the center. Fold as shown in the pic.

 

Use flour water paste to stick the edges

 

Take it in your hands and hold like a cone add more stuffing if required and seal the edges. (If you are making wrapping at home take each semi circle dough prepared and make it to cone with your hands and stuff it with chicken masala and seal the edges)

 

Deep fry the samosas in oil

 

Drain the excess oil in a paper towel and serve hot.
