About Chicken Samosa
Chicken samosas use a thinner, crisper wrapper and a spiced chicken filling. They are slightly smaller than aloo samosas and carry more protein per piece — a medium one is about 150 kcal with 5 g protein.
Tip: The thin-wrapper 'Lahori' style absorbs less oil than the thick-pastry Punjabi samosa.
