Homemade Chicken Samosas (Samoosas) Recipe – Crispy, Juicy & Perfect for Parties

1) Make the Dough

– In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the 2 tablespoons of oil and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture looks slightly sandy. This helps create a flaky, crisp shell.

– Add cold water gradually, a little at a time, stirring and then kneading until a soft, pliable dough forms. Aim for smooth—not sticky—texture.

– Cover the dough with a damp dish towel and let it rest for about 20 minutes. Resting relaxes gluten, making rolling easier and helping prevent shrinkage.

2) Prepare the Chicken Filling

– Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent and fragrant.

– Stir in peppers and cook for another 2–3 minutes.

– Add the diced or minced chicken, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink.
