    Ingredients

    Chicken Samosa Ingredients

    Samosa Patti – These come in handy and therefore whenever I am in a hurry, I buy these from the store. You can also make it at home as well.

    Chicken – The key ingredient of this recipe, Chicken. Here, minced chicken is cooked along with other ingredients to get that perfect flavor needed for Samosas.

    Cheese – This makes the Samosas even better. The taste of melted cheese with the spiced chicken masala is just magic.

    Veggies – I have used onions, capsicum, coriander leaves, and mint leaves. You can skip capsicum, but it does adds a great crunch with the soft chicken.

    Slurry – We will need a slurry to properly shape the Chicken Patti, which is nothing but a thin strip of all-purpose flour and water.

    Other Ingredients – More Ingredients that are required to make Chicken Samosa are – Lemon, Salt, Oil, Garlic, and White Pepper Powder.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make baked Chicken Samosa?

    To make Baked Samosa, prepare the Samosa as per instructions given below. Next, preheat the oven at 300 degrees F for 20 minutes.

    Arrange the Chicken Samosa on a baking tray and spray or brush them with oil.

    Now bake the prepared samosas for about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye, as we don’t want them to get burnt. Serve hot.

    How to make Samosa with homemade made covering?

    To make Samosa Patti at home, add all-purpose flour, salt, and oil in a mixing bowl. Add required water and knead a dough.

    Now, divide the dough into equal portions. Take one and make a diameter circle just like Roti using a rolling pin. Make sure it’s thin.

    Next, heat a tawa and cook it on each side for about 30 seconds. Take them off and cut into thick strips just like the store-bought Samosa Patti. Use once cooled down or freeze for later use.

    If using, fill the prepared Chicken masala, shape it using the slurry, and deep fry. Serve hot.

    Where to get Samosa Patti?

    You can find Samosa Patti in any grocery store. It will be in the freezer section.

    Variations

    Spicy – Looking to make a spicy filling for the samosa? Then add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and little lemon juice along with the mentioned ingredients in recipe below and cook. Now fill the patti with this spicy filling.

    Storage Suggestions

    Chicken Samosa freezes well! They can be frozen before frying and eve after frying.

    The best way to freeze them is before frying! Just Shape the samosas and place them on a sheet pan in a single layer and freeze them. Once frozen, store them in freezer bags.

    You can freeze these for up to 6 months. Thaw them till they come to room temperature, before frying.

    If you have leftover Fried Samosas, wrap them in aluminium foil or plastic wrap loosely and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 F for 10 mins.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve these crispy Chicken Samosa with Coriander Mint Chutney as a side dish with your North Indian meal during Ramzan or for snacks during your get togethers.

    Serve it for your tea parties or just for a monsoon/winter evening snack with a hot cup of Adrak Wali Chai or Beaten Coffee.
