This is one of my childhood favourite. This was my Grandma's version of chicken samosa.
When I came out of India, I found almost similar snack,the Empanada in Latin American restaurants.

Ingredients:

dough:
wheat flour/atta - 1 cup
water -about 1/2 cup
salt

filling:
Chicken - 1/2 lb or any ground meat as well
onion - 1 small
tomato-1 small
ginger and garlic minced - 1/2 tsp
turmeric powder -1/4 tsp
chilli powder-1/4 tsp
garam masala powder-1/2 tsp
salt

And oil for frying

Method:
Make dough as for poori and keep.
Cook chicken with a little salt,turmeric powder and chilli powder.
Then cut them into small cubes and chop onion and tomato.
Saute onion, ginger garlic paste followed by tomato.
Add garam masala powder and salt.
Now add the chicken pieces and saute for a minute.
Filling is ready.

Take the dough and make small balls.
Roll it out and keep about 2 tbsp of filling in one half side
Brush water at the side of the rolled out dough and fold over the other half and press gently.
Take a fork and press along the joined side.
Repeat with all dough balls.
Heat oil and fry them golden brown.
