Chicken Samosa

Enjoy your homemade chicken samosas!

Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
• 1 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon minced ginger
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the samosa dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• Water, as needed
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and vegetable oil.
   • Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
   • Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until onions are translucent.
   • Add shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, peas, and all the spices. Cook until well combined and the mixture is dry. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Assemble the Samosas:
   • Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin oval or round shape.
   • Cut each oval in half to create two semi-circles.
   • Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge with water.
   • Fill the cone with the chicken-potato mixture and seal the open edge, pinching to ensure it's closed.
4. Fry the Samosas:
   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the prepared samosas and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy.
   • Remove them with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the chicken samosas hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
