Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 1 medium Potato, boiled and mashed
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breast into very small cubes or mince it finely.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger; cook for another minute until aromatic.
Add the diced chicken and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Add the peas, diced carrot, boiled and mashed potato, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and black pepper.
Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients and let it cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors together.
Drizzle the mixture with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Allow the filling to cool to room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each phyllo sheet in half to form rectangular strips. Keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent them from drying out.
Brush one strip of phyllo with melted butter. Place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture at one end of the strip.
Fold one corner of the phyllo over filling to form a triangle. Continue folding in a triangle pattern until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
Place the samosas on a baking sheet and brush their tops with some more melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Let the samosas cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium chicken samosas warm as a delightful appetizer or snack.
