Dough
2 cups AP/Plain flour
1 tbsp ghee
1/2 tsp salt
Warm water as needed
Filling
250g minced chicken
1/2 tsp carom seed
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
2 tsp oil
1/4 cup water
Minced
2 large onion ~ chopped
2 green chilies ~ chopped
1" ginger ~ chopped
4 cloves garlic ~ chopped
1 bunch curry leaves ~ chopped
1 bunch coriander leaves ~ chopped
Directions:
- Filling: Heat oil in a wok, saute the carom seed & all the ground powder ingredients till fragrant. Then add all the chopped ingredients until onions are translucent.
- Add the minced chicken & season with salt. Let it cook for couple of minutes.
- Then add chopped curry & coriander leaves; stir & mix well. Cook again for a minute or two. Remove from heat, let the filling cool completely.
- Dough: In a bowl, mix flour, ghee & salt. Add warm water slowly & mix until a smooth & soft dough. (Note: adding ghee as it is. Do not melt that's what make the samosas crispy)
- Divide the dough about golf ball size, dust work space with enough flour & roll out a circle then oblong. (Note: Use round cutter to have a prefer circle) Then cut the oblong in halves.
- Take one halves with the curved side facing us; fold the left/right side inwards & dab along the edge with water on it. Seal both sides to get a cone shape. Make sure to pinch the bottom of the cone well so that oil will not enter the samosa during frying.
- Fill in the filling. Do not overfill as it might break while frying. Dab water on all edges, fold the pointed edge in to complete the "triangle".
- Once all samosas are ready; heat about 2 cups of oil in a wok or deep bottom pan & fry them in batches until golden on both sides.
Note:
Can chill or freeze uncooked samosas for later. Chill them if using in couple of days or freeze if not. Just line the container with baking paper & sprinkle some flour so that it doesn't stick to each other. When want to fry, just take it out & fry directly; thawing isn't necessary.
