Let's talk about Samosas; these little but tasty pastry can either be
fried or baked and it can serve as an appetizer, entree or snacks.

Dough:

Combine the flour, salt, and oil in a large bowl, and use your
fingers to rub the oil into the flour until you get a crumbly texture.

Add in the water, about 1 tb at a time, and mix until a smooth and
firm dough is formed. Then knead for about 7 to 10 minutes or until
it's smooth and elastic. Cover it up with plastic wrap and allow it
to rest for about 30 minutes.

Filling:

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion
and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon,
until it is browned. Add the diced potatoes, green peas, grated
ginger, paprika, thyme, curry powder, salt, black pepper, and scotch
bonnet. Stir and leave to cook until the potatoes are tender and the
meat is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add some water if needed.

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken cool.

Assembling:

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions then roll each portion into a
ball and flatten it into a disc.

Cut each disc in half to make two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle
and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges with water.

Fill the cone with 1 to 2 tb of the filling. Seal the open end of the
cone by applying water to the edges and pressing them together.

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Deep Frying:

Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot (about 350?F) add a few samosas at a time and
fry until golden brown on both sides.

Remove the samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve with African hot sauce or any other dipping sauce of your
choice.

Bake:

Preheat the oven to 375?F

Place the samosas on a greased baking sheet bake them in the oven for
20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy flipping
them halfway through.
