  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.33 cup cold water adjust as needed
Filling
  • 1 cup cooked chicken finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup green peas fresh or frozen
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Prepare the dough by mixing flour and salt. Rub in oil or ghee and knead with cold water until smooth. Rest 20–30 minutes.
  2. Cook the filling: sauté onions until translucent, add ginger-garlic paste and spices, then fold in chicken, peas, and cilantro. Cool completely.
  3. Divide dough into balls, roll thinly, cut in half. Form cones, fill with chicken mixture, and seal edges.
  4. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry samosas in batches until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Serve warm with chutney or dip of choice.
