CHEESY CHICKEN BREAD SAMOSA

Step 1: Sauté Aromatics

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in a pan. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped ginger, garlic, and green chili. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 2: Cook Chicken

Add 200 gms of diced chicken, salt to taste, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper powder, and 1 teaspoon of chili flakes to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the chicken changes color and is partially cooked.

Step 3: Add Vegetables

Add 2 tablespoons of diced capsicum and 1 small diced onion to the chicken. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 4: Incorporate Sauce and Flour

Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce and sauté on high flame for 1 minute. Then, add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and mix well, cooking for about 1 minute until the flour is incorporated and lightly toasted.

Step 5: Thicken with Milk

Pour in 1/2 cup of milk and stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency. Switch off the flame and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 6: Prepare Bread Slices

Take white bread slices and cut off all the crusts/sides. Place each bread slice on a flat surface and roll it flat using a rolling pin or a small roller.

Step 7: Fill the Samosas

Place a spoonful of the prepared chicken filling in the center of a rolled bread slice. Top with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8: Seal the Samosas

Apply a thin layer of maida (all-purpose flour) paste (flour mixed with a little water) along two adjacent edges of the bread slice. Fold the bread slice diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp and further seal the edges, ensuring no filling leaks out. Repeat for all samosas.

Step 9: Prepare Coating Batter

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of corn flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water, mixing until you get a smooth, thin batter.

Step 10: Coat Samosas

Dip each prepared bread samosa into the corn flour batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Immediately transfer the coated samosa to a plate of bread crumbs and coat it thoroughly, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

Step 11: Deep Fry Samosas

Heat oil for deep frying in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the bread samosas into the oil. Fry the samosas for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12: Serve

Remove the fried samosas from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy your cheesy chicken bread samosas!

• Ensure the chicken filling is not too wet, as it can make the bread soggy.

• Press the edges of the samosas firmly with a fork to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.

• Fry the samosas on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and turn golden brown without burning.

• For a spicier version, increase the amount of green chilies or chili flakes.

• Vegetarian option: Replace chicken with finely chopped mixed vegetables like carrots, peas, and corn.

• Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or a blend for varied flavor.
