How to make Chicken Samosa:
- Sift the all-purpose flour and salt together in a bowl or dish.
- Add the 4 tbsp. of oil to flour and salt and mix it in well with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse breadbrumbs.
- Add in the water and mix well with hands into a dough to form a stiff ball.
- Take the dough ball out of the dish and put it onto a clean counter surface. Knead the dough well with hands until it turns into a smooth dough. Form it into a round ball.
- Rub the ball with another ¼ teaspoon of oil and cover it with plastic wrap or a plastic bag.
- Set it aside for atleast 30 minutes to let it rise.
- Mix the ginger paste, garlic paste, cumin seeds, pisa garam masala , red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and salt with 4 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix it into a paste.
- Mix the spices with the cubed chicken and marinate it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Seperately in a frying pan saute the chopped onion with 4 tablespoons of the olive oil until it is golden brown.
- Add in the marinated chicken and mix.
- Cover and let it cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes by stirring occasionally in between.
- Add in the diced potatoes and mix.
- Cover and let it cook for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Take off heat and let it cool.
- Knead the pastry dough again with hands and divide it into eight balls.
- Keep all balls covered while you work on one at a time.
- Roll each ball out into a 7 inch (18 cm) round.
- Cut it in half with a knife.
- Pick up one half and form a cone out of it, making a ¼ inch wide (5 mm), overlapping seam.
- Glue the seam together with a little water.
- Fill the cone with about 2 ½ tablespoons of the potato mixture.
- Close the top of the cone by sticking the open edges together with a little water.
- Again, your seam should be about ¼ inch (5 mm) wide.
- Press the top seam down with the prongs of a fork or flute it with your fingers.
- Repeat this process for each remaining balls.
- Heat about 1 ½ to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of oil for deep frying over a medium-low flame.
- When the oil is hot, put in as many samosas as the pan will hold in a single layer.
- Fry slowly, turning the samosas frequently until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Put each fried samosa on a paper towel to absorb any access oil.
