Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams boneless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 12 sheets ready-made samosa pastry sheets
- 500 milliliters oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with spices.
Add the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked through, stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Prepare the samosa pastry sheets as per package instructions.
Take one sheet and fold it into a cone shape. Fill the cone with the chicken mixture and seal the edge with a little water to close the samosa.
Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
Heat 500 milliliters of oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
