A chicken samosa is a savory pastry filled with spiced, minced chicken and aromatic vegetables. It's a symphony of textures and flavors: the crispy, flaky exterior gives way to a warm, melt-in-your-mouth interior bursting with savory and slightly spicy goodness.

Its origins can be traced back to Central Asia, but it has become deeply ingrained in the cuisines of the Middle East and Central Asia, and beyond.

Chicken samosa is more than just a snack; it is a symbol of cultural heritage, and a delicious explosion of textures and flavours for all the non vegetarians. So, this winter season level up your snack game with this easy Chicken Samosa recipe with a hot cup of tea. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make chicken samosas at home:

How To Make Chicken Samosa: 

Chicken Samosa

1. To make the filling, heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Let them splutter. Then add ginger garlic paste and saute for a few seconds. Add chopped onions and green chili and saute until the onions turn translucent. Add minced chicken, coriander powder, red chili powder, salt, pepper powder, and garam masala powder. Mix well and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside to cool.

2. To make the dough, take all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl and add salt and oil or ghee. Add water little by little and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth for at least 30 minutes.

3. After resting, divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin. Cut each circle into two halves using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Take one half of the circle and roll it into a cone shape with the wider end at the bottom. 

4. Fill each cone with a generous spoonful of the cooled chicken filling, leaving enough space at the top to seal it properly. Seal the edges of each cone by pressing them together with your fingers or a fork. Repeat this process with all the dough balls and filling to make as many samosas as you want.

5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place a few samosas in the pan (make sure not to overcrowd them). Fry them until they turn golden brown on all sides. And it's ready. 

6. Serve it with mint, coriander, or tamarind chutney and a cup of hot tea.

Ingredients

  • 250g minced chicken
  • 1 finely chopped medium-sized onion
  • 1 finely chopped green chili
  • 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp pepper powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
  • 1/2 cup oil or ghee
  • Oil for frying ( vegetable oil)
  • Salt to taste

Step

  • Step 1 :

    To make the dough, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the water and oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until it is smooth. Cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes.

    Now in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 3 :

    Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more. Add the minced chicken and cook until browned. Add the cumin, coriander, black pepper, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1 minute more and it’s ready.

  • Step 4 :

    To assemble the samosas, divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball out into a thin circle.

  • Step 5 :

    Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Wet the edges of the circle with water, then fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal.

  • Step 6 :

    Now heat the oil in a large deep fryer and fry the samosas in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

  • Step 7 :

    Serve it hot with some mint, coriander, or tamarind chutney.
