5. Add the turmeric and coriander powder and sauté again.

6. Add the chicken and mix thoroughly, sautéing till the entire mixture is somewhat dry.

7. Add the garam masala and mix in. remove from the heat.

8. At this stage, crumble up the mashed potato into the chicken mixture and add the fresh coriander. Mix well.

Tip: The samosas can be frozen and stored if preferred. We also suggest watching a couple of YouTube videos to get an idea of the samosa folding action.
