WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEEF AND CHICKEN SAMOSA?
Distinguishing the two is the contrast between Beef Samosas and Chicken Samosas. Another notable disparity lies in the heartiness, with Beef Samosas generally boasting a more substantial filling in comparison to their Chicken counterparts.
WHAT ARE CHICKEN SAMOSA MADE OF?
Crafting the Chicken Samosa involves utilizing finely ground chicken. It's imperative to ensure that the texture of the ground chicken is delicately uniform rather than coarse and chunky.
INGREDIENTS
- Chicken- Ground chicken should be used for this recipe. The texture of the ground chicken should be fine not chunky.
HOW TO MAKE THE CHICKEN FILLING?

For the samosa sheets that are not being used at the moment cover them with damp paper towel.
Fry them on both side evenly.
Until they are golden on both sides.
You're done!
HOW TO STORE IT?
Among the selection of freezer-adaptable Pakistani recipes showcased on the blog, this ranks as one of the most accommodating. To commence the freezing process, arrange the samosas in a lateral fashion within a ziplock bag, maintaining a modest ¼ to ½-inch gap between each piece.
Securely seal the ziplock bag and position it horizontally within the freezer, ensuring an absence of contact between the samosas. Allow them to freeze for a span of 30 to 60 minutes. Subsequently, their placement in the freezer can be more relaxed after 30-60 minutes in terms of spacing, as they will not adhere to one another even if touching.
I highly recommend a freezer storage approach for the beef samosas before embarking on the frying phase, avoiding any frying endeavors at this initial juncture. When the occasion calls, effortlessly retrieve the desired number of samosas and proceed with a deep-frying procedure. It's crucial to emphasize that thawing is superfluous prior to frying, as this could potentially lead to unwanted moisture retention.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH IT?
The optimal accompaniment for Chicken Samosa is unquestionably Green Chutney or Pudina Chutney; nevertheless, on occasion, I find delight in enjoying it with the addition of Khatti Meethi Chutney.
WHICH SAMOSA SHEETS TO USE?
Over the passage of years, my mother and I have engaged in a search for different bed sheets. Nevertheless, our pursuit reached its culmination upon encountering this specific one, owing to its remarkable flawlessness. I have included an image below to showcase the one that I wholeheartedly endorse.
