Grilled chicken samosa served

Grilled Chicken Samosas

Originally from the Middle East and Central Asia, the samosa spread to India in the 10th century, where its spices and fillings were reinterpreted. Since then, the samosa has become one of the most well-known street foods in Indian cuisine. This grilled chicken version is a modern twist on the classic recipe, which is less oily but still rich in flavor. Thanks to the intense seasoning of the filling and the crispy baked pastry, every bite is an experience. It is the perfect choice for parties, family gatherings, or a weekend movie night. If you like spicier flavors, add extra chili flakes or a little garam masala to the filling.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Dice the chicken breast into small pieces for even grilling. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Tip: Use a sharp knife to avoid crushing the onion's fibers, which can make you tear up.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

    3

    Add the diced chicken, cumin, coriander, chili flakes, and salt. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Tip: Cook uncovered to prevent excess liquid from forming.

    4

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh coriander. Let the filling cool to room temperature. Tip: Cooling the filling prevents the pastry from becoming soggy.

    5

    Cut the filo pastry (or samosa pastry) into long strips. Place a tablespoon of filling at the end of a strip and fold it into a triangle shape until the entire strip is used. Tip: Moisten the edges with water while folding to seal them securely.

    6

    Place the filled samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then brush the tops with a little oil. Tip: Using a brush makes it easier to spread the oil evenly, creating a crispy top.

    7

    Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Tip: Flip them halfway through baking for even browning.
