Preparing the filling
- Add the chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic cloves and ginger along with the 2 cups of water to a saucepan and bring to
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. (see notes)
- Discard everything but the chicken and shred it to a fine consistency.

- Add the cumin and mustard seeds and saute for 1 minute.
- Add the salt, red chili powder, amchur powder, and red chili flakes and stir until well combined.
- Add the cornflour, mix and set the mixture aside to cool. (see notes)
Filling the samosas
- Take the square egg roll wrappers and cut in half until you have 24 rectangular strips.
- Mix the flour and water to make an edible glue. (see notes)
- Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling and place it at the top of your first wrapper.
- Fold into a triangle and pack the filling inside.
- Keep folding the triangle until the filling is completely sealed.
- Use the flour and water paste to completely seal the samosas, until there are no visible cracks or openings. (see video in the post above for instruction)
- repeat until all your samosas have been prepared and refrigerate or freeze as desired.
Frying the samosas
- Preheat the cooking oil in a wok or karahi until it reaches a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. (see notes)
- Fry no more than 3-4 samosas at a time to prevent overcrowding the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until crispy and golden brown. (see notes)
Air-frying the samosas
- brush the samosa with some oil on both sides.
- Air fry at 375 degrees for 8 minutes on each side. (see notes)
Notes
- Chicken: I've used chicken tenderloins for this recipe because they're juicy and cook quickly. However, you can also use chicken breasts or thighs.
- Chicken: I've used chicken tenderloins for this recipe because they're juicy and cook quickly. However, you can also use chicken breasts or thighs.
- Cornflour: This will help bind the chicken mixture and prevent the moisture from making the samosas soggy.
- Egg roll wrappers: While spring roll wrappers can also be used for this recipe, I find the more dense and chewy texture of egg roll wrappers tastes better.
- Cooking oil: Deep frying requires enough oil to cover the samosas completely. This results in crispier samosas and a more even color.
- Making the samosas: The flour and water paste is your friend when making perfect samosas. Use it generously to seal the samosas entirely so that no oil gets in during the frying stage.
- Frying the samosas: I suggest using a wok or karahi for best results. You can also use a cast iron skillet, but the shallow base of the skillet may require more oil than the 4 cups suggested above. For best results, when pre-heating the oil, use a thermometer to insure best results.
- Air frying the samosas: The air-fried samosas will be just as crispy as the deep-fried ones but will not be an even golden color throughout.
