Chicken Samosas
Servings 4
Ingredients
- FOR THE FILLER:
- 250 gm chicken cooked and shredded
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 medium onions minced
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp fennel powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp garam masala
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- FOR THE WRAPPER:
- 1 cup wholewheat flour
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oil
- Around 1/2 cup lukewarm water
Instructions
- Heat oil in a saucepan. Saute onion till wilted.
- Add in the powders and cook till raw smell is gone.
- Add the shredded chicken, adjust the seasoning. Cook for five minutes on low flame.
- Add the coriander leaves and switch off. Allow to cool completely.
- For making the wrappers, combine the flours and salt. Sprinkle the oil and rub in.
- Pour warm water slowly and start kneading till you have a stiff yet soft dough. Allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 12-14 lime sized balls. Bail them out into rounds, by basting some oil.
- Keep some filling in the center and shape them to make samosas (as per the above step-by-step). Set aside. Repeat till the dough and the chicken mixture is completed.
- Heat enough oil to fry and fry them in batches on low flame till golden brown. Serve hot with tea!
Notes
You can use only all-purpose flour for making the wrapper. But using only wholewheat is not suggested, since it makes the samosas denser.
Ensure that the dough is not sticky, or else it will drink too much oil.
