FAQS

  1. How do I make Korean Fried Chicken Samosas with Spicy Mayo from scratch?

    To make Korean Fried Chicken Samosas with Spicy Mayo, start by cutting paneer into cubes and air frying them at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. While the paneer cooks, mix the KFC sauce ingredients (gochujang, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, and water) in a skillet and reduce until thickened. Coat the air-fried paneer in the sauce, then prepare the scallion pancakes by cutting and folding them. Finally, heat oil in a pot and fry the samosas until golden brown, serving them with the spicy mayo made from mayo, gochujang, and sugar.

  2. Can I make Korean Fried Chicken Samosas gluten-free?

    Yes, you can make Korean Fried Chicken Samosas gluten-free by using gluten-free soy sauce and ensuring that the scallion pancakes are made with gluten-free flour. Additionally, check the gochujang paste for gluten-free certification. This way, you can enjoy this delicious fusion dish without gluten.

  3. What are some good substitutions for paneer in this samosa recipe?

    If you don't have paneer, you can substitute it with tofu for a vegan option or use ricotta cheese for a creamier texture. Both alternatives will work well with the Korean flavors and can be air-fried or pan-fried similarly to paneer.

  4. How should I store leftover Korean Fried Chicken Samosas?

    To store leftover Korean Fried Chicken Samosas, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can air fry them again for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.

  5. What can I serve with Korean Fried Chicken Samosas for a complete meal?

    For a complete meal, consider serving Korean Fried Chicken Samosas with a side of kimchi, a fresh salad, or steamed rice. You can also pair them with a light dipping sauce or additional spicy mayo for extra flavor.
