Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 5 cups shredded roasted chicken

Dough

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl, then stir in the olive oil until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the water while mixing until a firm dough forms, adding a splash more water only if the flour is not fully incorporated.
    Dough ball in mixing bowl
  • Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for at least 45 minutes to relax the gluten.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
  • Roll each ball out into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface, then cut each circle in half to create two semi-circles.
  • Lightly dampen the straight edge of a semi-circle with water, fold it into a cone shape, and pinch the seam firmly to seal.
    Hands folding dough cone
  • Fill each cone with a portion of the shredded chicken, then dampen the top edges and press them together to seal the samosa completely.
  • Heat a few inches of oil in a deep pot to medium-high heat.
  • Fry the samosas in batches until they are deep golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Transfer the finished samosas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain before serving.
