Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 cup Green peas, optional
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, and salt for the dough. Mix well.
Slowly add warm water to the flour mixture, stirring constantly to form a dough. Knead gently until smooth.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until completely browned.
Stir in garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the spices.
Add green peas if using, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until peas are tender. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Stir chopped cilantro into the cooled chicken filling mixture.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Wet the straight edge with a bit of water, then fold to form a cone shape, sealing the edge with your fingers.
Fill each cone with about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture, then pinch the top edge to seal the samosa.
Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan to about 350°F (175°C). Fry samosas in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove samosas and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of chutney.
