Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add ghee or oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken Filling

    In a pan over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté the chopped onions until they are translucent. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another minute.

  2. 4

    Add Chicken and Spices

    Add ground chicken to the pan, along with cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.

  3. 5

    Finish the Filling

    Stir in chopped green chili, fresh cilantro, and lemon juice. Mix well and let it cool.

Assembly and Frying

  1. 6

    Roll the Dough

    Divide the rested dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape, about 6 inches in diameter.

  2. 7

    Shape the Samosas

    Cut each oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, and form a cone by bringing the straight edge together, sealing with a little water. Fill the cone with the chicken filling and seal the top by pinching the edges together.

  3. 8

    Fry the Samosas

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Carefully add the samosas in batches and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
