WHAT IS A SAMOSA?

Samosa (samoosa) is a small, triangular pastry of sorts fried until golden brown and crispy. The pastry is filled with a curried filling (often vegetables, potato, chicken, lamb or lentils) spiced with fragrant Indian spices.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN SAMOSAS

Start by making the spicy chicken filling. Fry ground chicken (chicken mince) in a hot frying pan until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside. Fry an onion, garlic and ginger until soft and translucent then add the spices and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the chicken back into the pan with all of its resting juices and add the stock. Season with salt, pepper and sugar (optional) and turn down the heat. Allow to simmer until the chicken is cooked and the liquid has reduced. You want the filling to be moist but not wet as that will prevent the samosa pastry to crisp up. Allow the filling to cool before making the samosas.
