Ingredients

• 200 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 12 pieces Whole wheat samosa wrappers
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 100 grams Peas, frozen
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions, and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, and cook for another minute.

Step 5

Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, approximately 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Mix in the frozen peas. Add garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken and peas with the spices.

Step 7

Add 2 tablespoons of water to retain moisture and prevent the mixture from drying out. Cover and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 10

Take a whole wheat samosa wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling at one end. Fold the wrapper into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to the opposite edge. Continue folding in triangles, making sure the filling is enclosed.

Step 11

Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to ensure a crispy texture.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
