Ingredients
- 200 g (7oz) boneless chicken cut in small cubes
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon bbq sauce
- ⅓ cup bell pepper diced
- ⅓ cup black olives sliced
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- samosa sheets cut into 6cm (2.3") wide strips
- 1 egg whisked
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoon of oil in a pan and fry the chicken. Season with salt, black pepper, and ginger garlic paste. Once the chicken turns white, add tomato ketchup, sriracha, and bbq sauce. Mix well.
- Add bell peppers and olives to the mixture. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let the filling cool.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour with ¼ cup water to make a paste.
- Lay two strips of samosa sheets in a + (plus) shape. Apply the flour paste where the strips meet in the center.
- Add 2 tablespoon of the chicken filling and 1 tablespoon of cheese in the center. Fold one corner over the filling, brush with the paste, then fold the opposite corner on top, sealing the edges with more paste. Repeat until the samosa forms a square.
- Dip the prepared patties into flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs. Set aside. You can freeze them for up to 2 months at this point.
- Fry the patties on medium heat until golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can bake or air fry them.
- Serve with a dip of your choice and enjoy!
