Mix flour, salt, oil & water into a bowl. Make a firm dough but smooth. Cover in plastic wrap and leave it aside for 25 mins.

Get ready to make a delicious filling. Heat oil in a wok or frying pan. Add onions, garlic, spices fry until soft.

Add minced chicken. Remove from heat. Squeeze lemon/lime juice.

Set aside to cool down.

Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll out each piece into circle. Cut circle into 2 halves.

Use a little water to brush the straight edge of the semi-circle and form a cone shape. Seal the dampened edge by pressing tightly. Hold it and fill 1 TB of the samosa filling & press the two edges together to seal the top. Do the same for the rest.

Bake them for about 25 mins in 350F or until brown.
