Cooking method
By the way, samsa is a traditional oriental pastry. It is very popular in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan and is prepared there from unleavened dough, usually with lamb, peas, lentils or potatoes. I'm offering you a chicken option.
First you need to prepare the dough, in my case just defrost it, but if you want, you can knead it yourself.
Next you need to prepare the filling:
- chicken fillet is cleaned of fat and films, rinsed, dried and cut into small pieces;
- peel the onion and cut into quarter-rings;
- mix onion with chicken and season with salt, cumin, turmeric;
- set aside to marinate for 20-25 minutes.
While the filling is being prepared, you can do the dough, namely:
- spread out a sheet of dough on a floured table and cut it into squares of approximately 50 by 50 mm;
- roll out each square a little with a rolling pin.
It's time to put the oven to warm up to 180 degrees. Arrange the filling into squares, fold diagonally to make triangular pies, and pinch the edges.
Cover the baking sheet with parchment and transfer the pies there. Brush them with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake the samsa for 35-45 minutes until golden brown. Put the finished samsa on a platter, cover with a towel and leave to cool down for a while.
Serve samsa with chicken in warm or cold form with broth.
Bon appetit!
