Begin by cooking the chicken breast. Bring a pot of water to boil, add the chicken, and cook for about 10-12 minutes until fully cooked. Drain and shred the chicken finely.
In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded chicken to the pan along with garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the cream cheese and chopped cilantro. This is your samosa filling. Let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, and salt. Mix well.
Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add it to the flour mixture along with 2 tablespoons of water. Knead to form a dough.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Place a ball between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten it using a rolling pin to form a thin circle.
Cut the circle in half to form two semi-circles.
Take one semi-circle, and create a cone shape by folding one side slightly over the other, pressing to seal the edge.
Fill the cone with the chicken filling, and close the top by pressing the open edges together, sealing them well. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve hot as a snack or appetizer with keto-friendly chutney or sauce.
