A basic samosa with chicken and cheese filling, but we’ve taken it to the next level by breading it before frying. It will be too hard to resist.
This is the last snack recipe for this year’s Ramadan series. It is nothing complicated or unique. I’m sure many will already be making this type of samosas. But this was new for me and I thought I’ll share it with you because I loved it.
The filling is made of mozzarella cheese and chicken with lovely flavors from paprika, chilli flakes, pepper and cumin. Your can add more or less cheese as per your liking. When breading the samosas it turns out very crispy on the outside which makes it taste delicious.
