Mishry Review: The Tastier Chicken Samosa
Top Pick: Blue Flame Chicken Samosa
Blue Flame Chicken Samosas have chunkier, tastier bits of chicken in the filling. The delicate hint of coriander further adds to the overall taste.
Why Is Blue Flame Chicken Samosas Our Top Pick:
Containing about 12 pieces of chicken samosas, Blue Flame is priced at Rs. 175*, which is quite reasonable, and at par with contenders.
Blue Flame Chicken Samosas cooked very well. The exterior part of the samosa was crisp, especially the corners, which most love about these fried treats.
The filling of Blue Flame Chicken Samosas also includes coriander leaves, ajwain, zeera, etc., but you just can’t miss the delicious chicken flavor. The good part is that the filling is not pasty, but chunky so you can actually enjoy tiny bits of chicken in every bite.
Blue Flame Chicken Samosas have a considerable amount of filling with chunkier chicken bits and a mild fresh coriander flavor, which only adds to the overall taste.
Venky’s Chicken Samosa
While Venky’s Chicken Samosa tasted good too but fell short on two counts. First, the filling is quite pasty, and as a result, you cannot really taste the chicken. Secondly, there is too much black pepper in it. This not only makes the samosas a bit too spicy, but it also tends to overpower the flavor of the chicken. This may be a drawback for true-blue chicken flavors.
Having said that, there are some good things about Venky’s too. The exterior is crispy, layers are nice and flaky.
The size of samosas are fairly bigger but are in less number. The pack is priced at Rs. 155*.
