Chicken Chinese Samosa
Chicken Chinese Samosa / Chicken Chinese Samosa squares are delicious and tempting appetizer served with chutneys or your choice of sauce. I have made the wraps at home and changed the shape and have named these chicken chinese samosas to Chicken Chinese samosa squares, but if you want you can add the same filling into our regular samosa pattis and serve with chutneys or sauces. Here is my recipe of Chicken Chinese Samosa / Chicken Chinese Samosa squares.

Note:
- For veg Chinese samosa squares, do not add chicken , rest procedure is same.
- If you want more spicy add red chili sauce as per your taste.
- I tried making both the ways , baking it and deep frying it but my personal favorite shall remain the deep fried ones.
- If you do not want to add boiled hakka noodles, skip it.
- If you do not want to make a thick saucy vegetable mixture , then skip the step of adding the diluted cornflour, rest follow the procedure.
- I have home made wraps and then shaped them into square and have given my name as Chicken Chinese Samosa / Chicken Chinese Samosa squares because of my shapes , but you can stuff the same filling in samosa pattis too and serve as chicken chinese samosas with chutney or your choice of sauce.
