Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and all the water has evaporated.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add 1 cup of chopped onions and 1/3 cup of chopped jalapenos to the pan. Mix well and turn off the flame. Create a space in the center of the mixture and place a burning coal wrapped in aluminum foil or a small bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over the burning coal and immediately cover the pan. Let it rest for 10 minutes to infuse the smoky flavor into the stuffing.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour with 125 ml of water to form a lump-free slurry.

- Refrigerating: Store the cooked samosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Ensure they are cooled completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
- Freezing (Cooked Version): Place the cooked samosas in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1-2 months.
- Freezing (Uncooked Version): This is the preferable way. If you have leftover uncooked samosas, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Useful Tips
Here are some useful tips for a perfect chicken malai boti samosa recipe:
- Ensure the samosa wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
- Fry the samosas in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can result in uneven cooking.
- For a healthier alternative, you can also bake the samosas in the oven instead of frying them.
- Experiment with different fillings and spices to customize the flavor of your samosas.
