Instead I should dine out or carry out or make my man cook etc etc, so many thoughts I had. After I reached home, I tried to go with my plans and to sit on the couch doing nothing. After a few minutes of resting, I just went into the kitchen to take something. I did spend more time than I needed, I am not sure why I took a few more things out of the pantry and the refrigerator. Nothing happend as I planned, things were out of my control and I came out of the kitchen with these crispy, crunchy and of course delicious chicken samosas. I couldn&#8217;t be happier and my man couldn&#8217;t be happier.<\/p>\n<p>I literally cannot remember the last time I&#8217;d made samosas, \u00a0I know it doesn&#8217;t sound that good when I say this as samosas are such delicious snacks that are very very hard to resist. Whenever, I got the craving for samosas I used to get from a small homely Indian restaurant in my city, they even custom baked the samosas for me. That&#8217;s how I succumbed to my cravings. So, today unknowingly I fried some samosas, it was so delicious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicken Samosas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14750\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/chicken-samosa.jpg\" alt=\"chicken-samosa\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/chicken-samosa.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/chicken-samosa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/chicken-samosa-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Chicken Samosa Cooking Video<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Make Homemade Crispy Chicken Samosas | Popular Indian Snack | Easy Recipe\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-qGAirG1_vc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Cook covered till the chicken has cooked well and turns light brown. Using a wooden spoon, slightly shred the cooked chicken. Keep aside.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Heat a non-stick pan, add oil, let oil turn hot.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add, onions chopped small, season with salt, saute till translucent.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add ginger-garlic paste and green chili, saute till onions turn light brown in color.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the cooked chicken to the onions, stir fry for a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Have a taste, add more salt or chili powder\/ground pepper for spice if needed.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add cilantro, cook for a minute, remove the pan from the heat, keep aside.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and add water little by little as you knead the dough. Add water till you get a soft and smooth dough. Knead for a few minutes.
