My recipe for chicken samosa. I use canned chicken for these but you could also cook and shred chicken.
Filling
In wok,add oil,cumin seeds,onion and mix until translucent. Add chicken, black pepper powder, whole spice powder,red chili powder, salt and mix well. Add green onion,coriander,green chilies,mix well and let it cool.
Pastry
Place flour, oil and salt in a bowl and rub the mixture together.
Using your hand begin to sprinkle in a little water at a time to bring the dough together.
Continue to add the water in this way until the dough comes together. Using wet hands knead the dough until it is soft and no longer sticking to your hands or the bowl.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Heat up a thava or frying pan on the lowest heat setting.
Take a small tangerine sized ball of the dough and roll it between your palms to make a smooth ball.
Flatten and roll out with a rolling pin to create a thin round disc the size of a side plate flouring when necessary. Place the disc on the thava for 4 seconds. Remove and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife slice the disc in half so you are left with 2 semi-circles.
Place the semi-circles on a plate with the tea towel and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the dough so you are left with 10 - 12 semi-circles.
Paste
Make some flour glue by adding water to the flour and mix into a thick sticky paste.
Making the samosa
Place one semi-circle on your hand with the flat edge at the top and the cooked side facing you. Dip your finger in the paste and spread it across the straight edge.
Fold in the two corners so they meet in the middle ensuring one edge overlaps the other and press together to seal all the way down to create a smooth upside down cone.
Turn the cone over so the pointed end is at the bottom. Using a spoon fill the cone with the filling to 2/3 of the way up.
Seal the opening with the paste and seal it closed creating a triangle pastry. Lie on the tray and pat down to even the filling out. Repeat.
Spread the samosas out on a baking sheet or place them uncrowded in an air fryer. Brush each samosa with a small amount of melted ghee.
Bake in air fryer or convection oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes
