Chicken Samosa Ingredients
For the Chicken Keema Filling
Chicken keema - Add good quality clean Chicken Keema. It is available in the frozen section of all supermarkets. You may use boneless chicken pieces and mince them in a food processor to get the keema.
Onion, tomato - Use finely chopped onions and ripen juicy tomatoes.
Ginger garlic paste - I add ginger garlic paste in all the nonveg dishes. It is good for digestion and, it adds so much flavor to the chicken.
Spice powders - The basic Red Chili, Turmeric, Coriander, and Garam Masala powder goes into the keema along with the required Salt.
Cilantro - Coriander leaves or Cilantro gives a tasty finish to the dish
For the Samosa :
Samosa Sheets - We use these sheets to roll the samosa. It is similar to a spring roll sheet. We can use either store-bought or homemade. They are available in most Indian Supermarkets in the freezer section. You can also refer to the homemade samosa sheets post for the homemade version.
All Purpose Flour - We make a paste with water and flour for sticking the samosa to hold their shape. I alternatively use clove for sealing the samosa.
How to make Chicken Keema Samosa
Chicken Keema Filling
1.In a pan add the oil, and wait till the oil heats up. Next, add in the fennel seeds once it splutters add the curry leaves. Then add in finely chopped onions and fry till it becomes soft.
2. Add in ginger garlic paste and fry for about 2 mins till the raw smell leaves. Cook in medium flame or the ginger garlic paste might get burnt.
3. Next, add in tomatoes and fry till the tomatoes become soft and cooked completely.
4. Next add the Chilli powder, Coriander Powder, Turmeric powder, Garam Masala, and Salt, and combine. Cook for 1 min.
5. Now add in the cleaned Minced chicken and mix well, no need to add water as the chicken will get cooked in its own water.
6. Mix well and cook for about 8-10 mins the chicken will get cooked.
7. Garnish with finely chopped Cilantro / Coriander leaves and switch off the flame. Now the filling is ready. Let it cool down.
How to Fold the Samosa
1.Now in a small bowl add the all-purpose flour and water and make a thick paste. Now take your Samosa Patti or Samosa Sheets. I used store-bought ones. Take one sheet at a time. Fold the sheet in a triangle shape and it resembles a cone.
2. fill in the cone with the prepared filling. Fold once again and the samosa is now closed and will have a small portion of the sheet left. Apply the prepared 2flour paste over the edges of the sheet and then close the samosa. I pricked in a clove to secure the samosa you can ignore if you don't prefer.
3. Repeat the same procedure for all the samosas.
Air Fryer Chicken Samosa
1.This is a healthy version without deep frying. Preheat the air fryer to 392 F / 200 C for 5 mins. Spray or brush oil over the basket and place the samosa in the basket. Brush with oil and air fry at 356 F / 180 C for 12 mins. Brush the samosa with oil and then air fry. Make sure you flip them once halfway. Crispy air fryer chicken samosas are now ready.
Stovetop Chicken Samosa
1. Heat a heavy pan with oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot drop in the samosa and fry in a medium flame. Once it's golden, crisp, and cooked remove it from the oil and drain in paper towels to remove excess oil. .
