Samsa or samosa is an oil-fried or baked national Oriental dish with a salty filling. Visually, it looks like a pie. It comes in different shapes, but most often square, triangular or rounded.Samsa dough can be unleavened or flaky. I will use store-bought puff pastry to make it as simple and fast as possible.This time I propose to make samosa with chicken. It's not very canonical, but chicken is easy to find in any store. And using parts like ham, thighs or legs - it is almost impossible to overdry and spoil. In addition, we season it with a mixture of coriander, zira and granulated garlic and not everyone who has tried it will be able to guess that it is samosa with chicken.
