Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
For the stuffing
- 150 g chicken thighs keema or minced
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1½ inch ginger finely chopped
- 3 stalks spring onion greens finely chopped
- 4 tbsp coriander leaves finely chopped
- 4 tbsp mint leaves finely chopped
- 3-4 fresh chilis finely chopped
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp coriander powder
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 2 tbsp oil
- salt to taste
For the samosa wrapper
- 4 spring roll wrappers
- 2 tbsp plain flour (maida)
- 4 tbsp water
Others
- 2 tsp black sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Mix the flour and water and keep it aside. This will act as the glue to stick the samosa wrappers
- Heat the oil in a wok and add the cumin seeds
- When they turn fragrant, add the chopped ginger and garlic
- Do not brown the garlic, once they turn fragrant add the onions
- Saute´e until they become soft and translucent. Over medium flame add the chilis and the chicken keema
- Cook for 3-4 minutes and add the spice powders, salt and spring greens
- When the chicken keema is completely cooked, add the chopped mint and coriander and mix well. Switch off the flame off and set this aside to cool completely
- In the meanwhile, prepare the samosa wrappers (pattis) by cutting the spring roll sheets, lengthwise, 2 inches wide*
- Fold and stick (using the flour paste) one end of the patti, to form a cone. Hold the cone as shown in the picture
- Fill it with a spoonful of the prepared and cooled keema. Do not over stuff it
- Fold along the shape of the cone, and stick the edge on the body of the samosa with the flour paste. Line the prepared ones on a parchment lined baking tray. Cover with a cloth
- Brush some oil over the chicken keema samosas and sprinkle some sesame seeds over them. Bake these in a pre-heated oven at 200°C, for 5 minutes on each side
- Serve the baked chicken keema samosas fresh and hot, with a dip of your choice. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can also make these samosas with minced mutton and/or lamb meat
- I was able to make 12, assorted sized, chicken samosas with these measurements
- *Keep the wrappers covered at all times when not in use. Otherwise they will dry out, making it difficult to fold
