Steps

  • Mix flour and salt in a bowl, then stir in oil and egg yolk to create breadcrumbs.
  • Gradually add warm water to form a smooth elastic dough, then chill in the fridge.
  • Coat chicken breasts in a mixture of tandoori paste and yoghurt and marinate for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Roast chicken for 20 minutes until translucent juices run clear, then cool and cube.
  • Boil potatoes for 15 minutes, drain, cool, and finely chop.
  • Fry onions in oil until soft, then stir in turmeric, garam masala, mustard seeds, and seasoning.
  • Add garlic and chillies for 3 minutes, then cook curry leaves and potatoes for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in peas for 3 minutes, then fold in chicken, lemon juice, and coriander before cooling.
  • Roll pastry 3mm thick and cut into 15cm rounds, سپس bisecting each into semicircles.
  • Form cones from semicircles, seal with egg white, fill half-way, and seal the tops.
  • Deep fry samosas in batches for 5 minutes until golden and drain on paper.
  • Serve warm with chutney and raita.
