CHICKEN KHEEMA AND CHICKEN SAMOSA

Chicken kheema is my recent chicken dish that I tryed for the first time and believe me it was super hit recipe. Kheema can be prepared with any meat you prefer. This goes well with parathas.The best advantage is that left over kheema can be transformed into hot samosa the very next day. Samosa are meant to be Indian famous snacks and can be had anytime and any season. For the Veggie people out there can use soya granules instead of meat.

INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN KHEEMA.

1/2 pound Grounded or minced chicken.

1 Onion.

1 tbs Chopped Ginger

1 tbs Chopped Garlic.

1 tsp Jeera.

1 tbsp Red chilli powder.

1 tbsp Garam masala powder.

1 tsp Cumin powder.

1 tbsp Oil.

Later its done, garnish with chopped spring onions.

INGREDIENTS FOR SAMOSA CRUST.

Oil for deep fry.

Roll each ball into a circle and cut into 2 halves with a sharp knife. Take one semi-circle and lightly wet its straight edge with water. Fold it into a cone and join the edges pressing gently.

Fill each cones with chicken kheema and again join those open edges with water pressing gently. Reapeat the same process for the rest.
