Chicken samosa is a popular Indian snack or appetizer made of deep fried dough filled with a mix of spices and roasted ground chicken. They are usually served with a variety of chutneys and sauces, like mango chutney, tamarind sauce and cucumber raita. The main ingredients are chicken, potatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices. They are easy to make and taste delicious, especially when they are hot and crispy.
The dough is made by combining flour, salt, oil and water and then kneading it until smooth. It is recommended to make the dough a day or two ahead and keep it in the refrigerator for easier rolling. The filling is made by frying an onion and garlic until softened then adding ground chicken, curry powder, paprika, white pepper and salt. It is also recommended to make the filling a few days in advance and refrigerate it until needed.
You can use store-bought Samosa patti or spring roll wrappers in place of the homemade pastry for a quick and easy version. If you are using these, heat some oil in a large frying pan and fry them until they are puffy and golden brown on all sides.
The samosa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days or frozen for up to 6 months. They can be thawed at room temperature or reheated in the microwave before serving. To maintain the crispiness of the samosa when reheating them, do not microwave them for more than 30 seconds. سمبوسة دجاج
