Instructions
 

CRUST

  • In a bowl mix all-purpose flour and salt. Add 2 tbsp oil and mix until all the oil is well incorporated into the flour. Add water and knead into smooth firm dough. Cover it with moist towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.

FILLING

  • Heat oil in a medium non-stick pan.
  • Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, green cardamom and cloves (Add store bought garam masala instead at the end) . Stir until just fragrant.
  • Add onions, garlic and cook until onions turn brown.
  • Add tomato puree,red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and cumin powder. Mix well, cover and cook for about 10 minutes. Stir a few times and continue to cook until oil starts to separate from the mixture.
  • Add the ground chicken. Mix well and cook until the color of the meat starts to change.
  • Add green peas, garam masala and salt. Cook for 5 minutes. Keep aside to cool to room temperature.

SAMOSA ASSEMBLY & FRYING

  • Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll into a disc and cut at the center to make two halfs and apply water on the edges. Shape the dough into cones and stuff the ground chicken mixture into the cone. Brush water around the top edge and seal shut.
  • In a big frying pan add oil, bring the heat to medium, once the oil is hot gently slide the samosa, now reduce the heat and fry till puffy and golden brown on all the sides. Once done, lift it from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Notes

Take care that the dough does not get dry. If it does it may tear up while frying.
Never fry the samosa over high flame. Once you add in the samosas always reduce the heat and fry on low flame. It takes time but you get the best samosas.
Samosa can be made by using readymade samosa strips. Simply assemble the samosas as shown above.
