Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Lean ground chicken or turkey
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 100 grams Peas, fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
- 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground chicken or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it up as you go, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the meat. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the peas, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are well mixed. Remove from heat and mix in the cilantro.
Let the meat mixture cool slightly. While it cools, lay out one phyllo pastry sheet on a clean, flat surface, and lightly spray it with olive oil. Cover the unused phyllo sheets with a damp towel to prevent drying.
Fold the phyllo sheet in half lengthwise. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture at one end of the strip.
Fold the corner of the phyllo strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding until you reach the end of the strip, maintaining the triangular shape.
Lightly spray the top with olive oil and place the samosa on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy. Serve warm.
