Indulge in the flavors of India with these delightfully crispy, baked samosas. Filled with a savory mix of potatoes, chicken, peas, and spices, they're a healthier alternative to the traditional fried version. Perfect for gatherings or a family snack!
Ingredients:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees F. This is crucial for getting that perfect golden flaky texture on the samosas. Ensure your oven racks are positioned in the middle for even cooking.
Pro Tip: Use an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is at the right temperature.
Step 2: Cook the Filling
Boil a large potato until tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. In another pot, simmer chicken breast with spices until cooked through, which should take around 8 to 10 minutes. This process ensures the filling is flavorful and moist, creating a delicious contrast with the crispy puff pastry.
Pro Tip: Cut the potato and chicken into small pieces for faster cooking.
Step 3: Combine Filling Ingredients
Mash the cooked potato and shred the chicken before combining them in a large bowl with peas, diced mango, lime juice, chipotle sauce, and spices. This mixture is what makes these samosas so unique and tasty.
Pro Tip: Taste the filling and adjust seasoning according to your preference.
Step 4: Prepare the Samosa Pockets
Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly and cut them into rounds. Fill each round with the prepared filling, then fold and seal them into the classic samosa shape. Your samosas are now shaped and ready to bake!
Pro Tip: Use a little water to help seal the edges of the pastry.
Step 5: Bake
Brush the samosas with an egg wash to give them a beautiful golden color when baked. Bake in the preheated oven for a total of 25 minutes, adjusting the temperature halfway through. This ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the inside moist and delicious.
Pro Tip: Flipping the samosas midway through baking helps for an even golden crust.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your crispy baked samosas hot, paired with a tangy chutney on the side. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or as part of a meal. Gather your loved ones and enjoy the flavors of India right from your kitchen.
Pro Tip: Make a variety of chutneys to find which pairs best with your samosas.
