This chicken samosa recipe is made with ready-made samosa leaves, so you don’t have to worry about making the dough from scratch. Simply fill, fold and fry until golden and crispy.

For the filling, the chicken is cooked until tender then shredded before being mixed with the spices. And its broth is also reserved to be added to the mixture to enhance the flavor.

You can also cook the chicken directly with spices if you prefer. Either way, they taste juicy, delicious and make the samosa irresistible.

Ingredients

• Samosa leaves: I used ready made samosa leaves to hold the filling. This makes the process quick and easy.
• All-purpose flour: A little flour is mixed with water to form a smooth paste to seal the samosa. This helps the wrapper hold the filling together so nothing escapes during frying.
• Oil : Oil used to brown onions, chicken and spices. This helps the ingredients cook evenly and release their flavor. Any neutral cooking oil works well.
• Onion : The onion forms the base of the filling and adds a slight sweetness to balance the spices.
• Green chili peppers: The green chiles add heat that pairs well with the chicken. Adjust the amount based on mild or medium spiciness.
• Curry leaves: Curry leaves give the authentic south Indian flavor which enhances the taste of the chicken filling.
• Ginger garlic paste: Use freshly ground ginger garlic paste for a strong flavor. It infuses well with the chicken and balances the spices.
• Chicken breast: I used chicken breast for the filling. It becomes tender and soft when cooked and absorbs spices well.
• Spice powder: Turmeric powder, chili powder and garam masala powder are the main flavoring spices that add flavor, color and aroma to the filling.
• Salt : Salt is used to balance the overall taste of the topping.
• All-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is used to thicken the filling slightly and helps absorb moisture from the chicken mixture.
• Chicken broth: Chicken broth adds rich flavor to the filling.

Expert advice

Seal the samosa well: Always make sure to seal the edges well with the flour paste. This prevents oil from entering the samosa while frying and keeps the filling intact.

Do not overfill: Fill about 2-3 tablespoons of filling per samosa. Overfilling may crack the package and make folding difficult.

Cool the filling: Always let the chicken mixture cool completely before packaging it. This prevents the pastry sheet from becoming soggy when folding.

Air frying: For a lighter, healthier version, air fry these samosas instead of frying them. Brush the samosas with a little oil and fry them. You’ll get the same golden crunch with less oil.

Storage : Place the wrapped chicken samosas in an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. You can fry or air fry them straight from frozen. No need to defrost the samosas.
