Samosas are a savory snack commonly eaten in the states of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The traditional filling is made with spiced potatoes, onions, peas, coriander, lentils, ground beef, or sometimes fresh paneer. Our recipe includes a filling based on spiced minced meat.
Ingrediants
- 500 g of minced meat (lamb, beef or chicken)
- 4 tablespoons of Seed Oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon of Chilli
- 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of Garam Masala
- 1 teaspoon of Turmeric
- 1 ½ Medium onions, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 Beaten egg, to seal the samosas

Steps
Method 1 of 2: Prepare the Filling
Step 1. Heat the oil in a large skillet
Step 2. Fry the onions
Use a medium heat and mix for about 1 minute. Then add the spices to the pan and continue cooking until the onions are golden brown.
Step 3. Add the meat
Incorporate the minced meat and brown it until golden. After a few minutes, add the peas and tomatoes.
Step 4. Continue cooking
Cover the ingredients and cook them over low heat for about 20 minutes. Add more oil if necessary and don't forget to stir occasionally. Add salt if needed.
Step 5. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool
Method 2 of 2: Prepare the Samosas
Step 1. Prepare the pasta cones
Take 2 sheets of phyllo dough and shape them into a triangular cone. Seal the ends with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Don't forget to leave one side open to insert the filling.
Step 2. Stuff the samosas
Pour the spiced ground beef into the cones and close them carefully. You will need to get perfectly sealed bundles of phyllo dough.
Step 3. Cover the ready-made samosas with a damp kitchen towel while you fill the others
Step 4. Deep-fry the samosas
Turn them gently and cook until they are evenly golden on both sides. Fry them carefully and patiently so as not to harden them.
