This blog post reveals the secrets to crafting perfect Crispy Homemade Chicken Tikka Samosa Recipe (Video), including the homemade Tikka Masala filling recipe, folding technique, and sheet selection, all with step-by-step instructions and a tutorial video for an accessible culinary adventure.
WHY MAKE THIS RECIPE?
- It surpasses the Trader Joes rendition of Chicken Tikka Samosas.
- This makes for an excellent Pakistani appetizer.
- It derives its rich, natural flavors from our homemade Tikka masala.
- Indulge in the ultimate experience with these triangular-shaped pastry samosas filled with chicken tikka.
- You have the flexibility to opt for vegetable oil when frying, although my personal preference leans towards the use of olive oil.
- For an alternative cooking method, consider using an air fryer or toaster oven, ensuring the use of a baking sheet or the designated air fryer liner.
- In case you dont have ginger garlic paste at hand, ginger powder and garlic powder can serve as suitable substitutes.
- When folding two layers of samosas, its essential to cover the unused sheets with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
- To achieve an ideal level of folding precision and ensure the desired crispiness, its advisable to consistently employ a pair of sheets when wrapping the Samosa.
- Homemade Tikka Masala- I strongly recommend using homemade tikka masala because the store-bought one differs the taste.
- Chicken- I have used chicken breast for this recipe but chicken thighs can easily be substituted.
- Ginger garlic paste- I prefer the homemade ginger garlic paste but store-bought can easily be substituted.

FAQ
How do you cook Trader Joe’s samosas in an air fryer?
Trader Joe’s Mini Chicken Tikka Samosas ($3.99) I can fit samosas from two boxes in my eight-inch bucket air fryer, which is enough to feed three kids. It’s fine if the samosas overlap. The ideal temperature and cooking time is 375°F for about 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
What do you serve with Trader Joe’s samosas?
Try them with a dollop of our Hot & Sweet Pepper Jelly [96534]. Or you can remove all pretense of tradition and serve them with an assortment of pumpkin-flavored finger-foods including Pumpkin Empanadas or a slice of Pumpkin Bread (Mix) . However you serve them, they’ll serve to make you smile.
