Easy Chicken Samosa Food

SPICY CHICKEN SAMOSAS

Steps:

• To make the filling, fry the chicken in a large frying pan until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
• Add the onion, ginger and garlic to the pan and allow to fry until soft and translucent. Add all the spices and allow to cook for another 30 seconds until the pan is dry then add the chicken with all its resting juices.
• Pour in the chicken stock, lemon juice and sugar (if using) and allow the chicken to simmer until the liquid has reduced. The mixture needs to be moist but quite dry before it can be stuffed into the samosa wrappers.
• Add the fresh cilantro/coriander and season to taste. Allow the filling to cool to room temperature before using.
• To assemble the samosas, place a samosa wrapper lengthwise in front of you on a chopping board. Place a tablespoon of filling into the bottom left corner then fold up into a triangle and continue folding until the filling is fully encases in the pastry.
• Spread a little flour paste onto the edges and seal the samosa. Set aside and continue with the remaining ingredients.
• Pre heat vegetable or canola oil until hot in a deep pot then fry the samosas until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on paper towels before serving with chutney.

EASY CHICKEN SAMOSA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a pan, add the ghee and when hot add the onion and sauté until translucent.
• Now add the potatoes and sauté for two minutes. Add the ground chicken and cook for three minutes on medium high heat.
• Add the spices and stir for one minute.
• Reduce the heat and cook until the chicken is cooked, and the potatoes are soft.
• Note: You can add half a cup of boiling water to the filling if it is getting too dry and is not thoroughly cooked yet.
• In a bowl, add all the ingredients (except water) and mix well.
• Gradually add the water and knead until you get a smooth and not sticky dough. The dough should have a little firmness to it.
• Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Make 4 equal balls from the dough. Take one ball and roll with the rolling pin into a medium thickness circle around 6 inches. (You won't need flour to roll this dough).
• Use a knife to cut the circle in half.
• Take one-half and fold into a cone - seal along the fold.
• Place this cone between your thumb and index finger. Fill the cone with the filling, might take two tablespoons or little less.
• Wet the edges of the dough with water and pinch to seal (I sealed the dough without adding water, and it didn't open while frying but make sure to pinch firmly. Now you should have a triangle shaped samosa. Repeat this step with the rest of the dough and filling.
• Cover the samosa with a cloth and keep it aside for 20 minutes in a cool place. This step helps the samosa to have fewer bubbles on the pastry when frying, but you can skip it and immediately fry the samosa.
• In a medium pan, heat the frying oil. Add the samosas but do not crowd the pan. Fry on medium heat until the samosa is golden brown. The frying time may take from 7 to 8 minutes, depending on the size of the samosa.

Steps:

• To make the dough, combine flour and salt in large mixing bowl, then stir in oil. Add water, little by little, to form a workable dough. Form the dough into a ball and wrap in a damp kitchen towel to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• To make the filling, place a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and add the oil. When oil is hot, add the onion, ginger, garlic, and 1/2 tsp salt and stir. Cook for 2 minutes or until onion softens. Add minced chicken, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, cumin, coriander and chili powder. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then sprinkle with garam masala and add frozen peas. Stir and cook 5 more minutes. Taste for salt and add more if needed. Add chopped chillies if using (filling will be mild without).
• To shape the samosas, divide the dough into 6 equal portions, then roll each into a smooth ball on a well-floured surface. Roll each ball into a thin, oblong shape, then use a knife to slice in half lengthwise to make a half-moon. Take one half in your hand, brush some water on the edges, and fold into an open cone shape, pressing edges to seal. Hold the cone and fill with about 2 tbsp chicken filling. Pinch to seal Allow it to sit on a cutting board to form a flat bottom. Finish shaping remaining samosas.
• To fry the samosas, pour the oil into a deep saucepan or dutch oven to a depth of 3" over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches once the oil reaches about 200ºF. Fry for 15 minutes until golden, then increase heat to high and cook for 5 minutes at a hotter temperature until deep golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
