Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams lean ground lamb
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 inch, grated ginger
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 pieces phyllo pastry sheets
- 1 as needed cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the cumin seeds and toast for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground lamb to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and cooked through.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the lamb. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft.
Stir in the peas, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Combine everything well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Mix in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Take one sheet of phyllo pastry and lay it on a clean surface. Lightly spray with cooking spray and fold it in half lengthwise.
Place a tablespoon of the lamb mixture at one end of the strip. Fold the end over the filling to form a triangle.
Continue folding in a triangle shape until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat for the remaining filling and pastry sheets.
Arrange the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly spray the samosas with cooking spray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Serve the samosas warm with your choice of chutney or dipping sauce.
