Ingredients

  • 18 Spring Roll Wrappers

For the Filing

  • 500 g Chicken
  • 500 g Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tsp Chilli Flakes
  • 1 tsp Salt adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 200 ml Water
  • 1 handful Coriander
  • Oil for frying

For the Paste

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.
  • Add the cumin seeds and garlic paste, then sauté briefly until aromatic and lightly sizzling.
  • Stir in the onion and cook for several minutes until soft, translucent, and lightly golden.
  • Add the chicken and cook, stirring regularly, until it changes colour and begins to firm up.
  • Mix in the potatoes and continue cooking so they start to soften slightly.
  • Sprinkle in the chilli flakes, salt, coriander powder, and chilli powder, then stir well to coat everything evenly and allow the spices to cook out.
  • Pour in enough water to create steam, cover the pan, and cook gently on low heat until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the lid, stir through the fresh coriander, and cook briefly until any excess moisture evaporates and the filling is thick and dry. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, mix the plain flour with enough water to form a smooth, lump-free paste for sealing.
  • Take a spring roll sheet, form it into a cone, and seal the edge with the flour paste.
  • Spoon the cooled filling into the cone, fold into a neat triangle, and seal the final edge securely with more paste.
  • At this stage, the samosas can be frozen for later use if desired.
  • Heat oil for deep frying until hot, then carefully lower the samosas in and fry gently until golden and crisp on one side.
  • Turn them over and continue frying until evenly golden and cooked through.
  • Remove and drain on kitchen paper before serving.
