1- Chicken Tips
To make the chicken more palatable, cook it with stock, celery stalks, onions and carrots instead of water. Stock is used in soups, sauces and many other foods and has a great impact on the taste of food. You can prepare the stock yourself at home or buy it from supermarkets.

2- Tips related to onions
Many times when we go to fruit and vegetable markets to buy onions, we see different colors of onions in the shop, regardless of the fact that each of these onions has specific uses, we buy it, in fact, we choose the best onion tail. Unaware that the selected onion may not be suitable for the consumption we intend.

If I want to explain briefly about the use of onions, we should start with yellow onion, which is the most famous member of the onion family. This onion is the best option for cooking. White onion has a milder taste than yellow onion. It is almost like red onion in terms of use. It can be eaten raw or used in salads and dips. This onion is also the best choice for Mexican food.

Red onion has more fiber than white and yellow onion and because of its beautiful color, it can be used to decorate food plates. In addition, it is a good choice for grilling, salads and sandwiches. Red onions do not give enough flavor to food so they are not usually used for cooking.

3- Tips related to bell pepper
As you know, bell pepper is a high quality vegetable that it's consumption is recommended for all people, especially children. This vegetable has three colors: green, yellow and red, and its green color has a stronger taste. Bel pepper is considered to be the source of cold treatment due to its nutrients, including vitamins, and it is also very useful for treating anemia, protecting the eyes, strengthening eyesight, and relieving constipation.

There are bumps on the bottom of bell peppers; Bell peppers that have four bumps below them are female. This kind of bell peppers are full of eggs and have a sweet taste, so it is more suitable for preparing salads and raw foods than male pepper. The bell pepper, which has three protrusions below it, is male, has fewer eggs, and is spicy. It is more useful in cooking. On the contrary, the bell pepper does not become bitter at all after roasting and cooking, and remains delicious.

How to prepare chicken and mushroom samosa

1- Put the chicken breast in a pan with a little salt, pepper, turmeric and a small amount of water + stock tablets + 1 chopped onion + carrot + celery. Continue heating until the chicken is absorbed and almost dehydrated. Now, remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool the chicken, then chop them. To chop the chicken breast, you can use a mixer.

2- Finely chop the onion and fry it in oil, then finely chop the bell pepper. Wash the coriander, chop it finely and add it to the roasted chicken along with the bell pepper and onion, then add ginger and the red pepper and remove the pan from the heat for about 3 minutes. Next, chop the mushrooms and fry them in a separate pan over high heat so that they do not spill water. After frying, add them to the ingredients.

3- Cut the lavash breads into dimensions of 7 by 30 cm, then place some of the prepared mixture on the edge of the bread and turn the corner of the bread over the ingredients so that a triangle is formed. Return the triangle to the bread. Continue this until a small piece of bread remains. Return this part completely into the triangles so that the ingredients do not spill out when fried.

4- Choose a pan that is preferably small and very deep. Put the pan on the heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. When it is hot, put the samosas in the pan. Let the samosas be completely golden. Then, with the help of a perforated spatula, take them out of the pan and put them in a metal strainer to remove the excess oil.

5- When serving the samosas, put them in a metal base drainer. Place a tray under the drainer and place the tray in the oven that you have already placed at 170 ° C. Also note that when it heats up, the samosas should not be stacked.
