Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 1 Green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 20 sheets Spring roll wrappers or samosa pastry
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 500 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chili to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat evenly with spices.
Cook the mixture for another 3-5 minutes to allow the spices to blend. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh coriander. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and water to form a thick paste. This will be used as glue to seal the samosas.
If using spring roll wrappers, cut each sheet into strips approximately 6-8 cm wide. If using samosa pastry, ensure the sheets are ready to use.
Place a spoonful of the cooled beef filling at one end of a pastry strip. Fold the pastry over the filling into a triangular shape, then continue folding in a triangle pattern until the entire strip is wrapped around the filling.
Seal the edge with the flour-water paste to ensure the samosa is tightly closed. Repeat this process with the remaining filling and pastry sheets.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. Test the oil with a small piece of pastry; if it bubbles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Carefully lower a few samosas into the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the fried samosas using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the samosas hot with mint chutney or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
