Ingredients
For 40 Mini Samosas

- 250g Onion, finely chopped
- 30ml Garam Masala
- 5ml Sugar
- 125ml Chicken stock
- 7.5ml Cornflour dissolved in a little water
- Fillo pastry
Instructions
- Strip the meat and skin from your cooked chicken thighs. Zap this in your food processor until fine. Weigh out 400g of the processed chicken.
- Chop the onion and weigh out 250g of this.
- Heat a pan over medium high heat and add 50g of butter. Fry the onion for 5 minutes until tender and translucent.
- Add the garam masala and sugar and fry for a further 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken stock and continue to fry for a further 60 seconds.
- Dissolve the cornflour in a little water and add this to the pan. Allow this to boil for 60 seconds until thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the finely chopped chicken. Set this aside to cool.
- When the filling has cooled, cut your pastry into strips 4cm or 1.5 inches in width. The length must be 5 times that of the width, in this case 20cm or 8 inches.
- You can make the samosas bigger or smaller according yo your preference, provided you keep the ratio of length to width.
- Working with a few strips at a time, spoon a tablespoon of filling onto the end of each strip.
- Fold the pastry at 45 degrees to cover the filling. Fold this straight up, then at 45 degrees and so on until the samosa is completely formed.
- Wet the last piece of pastry to seal.
- Transfer the samosas to a lightly greased baking sheet and brush them with melted butter.
- Bake the samosas in a preheated oven at 200c or 400f until golden. Turn the samosas over and continue to bake until the second side is golden and crispy.
- Transfer the samosas to serving platters and serve immediately.
