No Fold Samosa is a unique and easy twist on the classic samosa that everyone loves. Traditional samosas require folding pastry sheets and filling them carefully, which can take a lot of time. This recipe simplifies the process while still delivering the same crispy and delicious taste. Instead of folding samosas, the chicken filling is spread directly over tortilla or flatbread and then coated and fried to create a crispy open-style samosa.
This recipe is perfect for snacks, tea-time treats, or special occasions like Ramadan iftar. The spicy minced chicken mixture is marinated with ginger garlic paste, soy sauce, lemon juice, green chillies, onion, and freshly crushed black pepper, which gives it a flavorful and juicy taste. Once the chicken mixture is spread over the tortilla, it is cut, dipped into a light batter, coated with breadcrumbs, and fried until golden and crispy.
One of the best things about this recipe is that it can be prepared in advance. You can freeze the coated samosas for up to one month and fry them whenever needed. This makes it an excellent option for Ramadan preparation or quick snacks for guests. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, these Chicken Smashed Open Samosas are guaranteed to become a family favorite.
