Serve: Chicken samosas can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. They pair perfectly with a side of chutney (mint chutney or tamarind chutney) or a tangy yogurt dip.
Storage: Leftover filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you have extra samosas, store them in the fridge or freezer for later use. To reheat, simply bake or fry until hot and crispy.
Freezing: You can also freeze the filling (or assembled samosas) before cooking. To freeze, lay the filled samosas on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Fry or bake directly from the freezer when ready to serve.
Variants:
Vegetarian Version: Replace the chicken with mixed vegetables (such as potatoes, peas, carrots, and green beans) for a hearty vegetarian samosa filling.
Spicy Version: For a spicier kick, increase the amount of green chilies or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
Cheese and Chicken Samosas: Add a little crumbled paneer (Indian cheese) or shredded mozzarella to the filling for a creamy and cheesy variation.
FAQ:
Can I use ground chicken instead of shredded chicken? Yes! Ground chicken works well for samosa filling. Simply cook the chicken in the skillet until browned and then proceed with the recipe as usual.
Can I make the filling ahead of time? Absolutely! You can make the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure it cools completely before storing it, and bring it to room temperature before using it in samosas.
How can I make the samosas crispy? Fry the samosas in hot oil (around 350°F/175°C) to ensure they become golden and crispy. If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, brushing them with a little oil before baking.
Can I freeze the samosas after making them? Yes, you can freeze the assembled samosas. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Fry or bake them from frozen when you’re ready to serve.
