Ingredients
- 300 g ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt to taste
- 1 package samosa pastry sheets
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef Filling
In a large pan, heat a little oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft and golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with turmeric, cumin, coriander powder, chili powder, and salt. Cook for about 10 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the mixture is dry. Stir in garam masala and chopped cilantro, and remove from heat to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Samosa
Lay the samosa pastry sheet flat on a clean surface. Cut the sheet into strips. For each strip, form a cone by folding the sheet at an angle, sealing the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the beef filling, then fold the top over to seal the samosa.
Step 3: Fry the Samosas
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve
Serve your Beef Mince Samosas hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce for dipping.
FAQs
Can I bake these samosas instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake the samosas at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Brush with a little oil before baking for a crispier texture.
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Yes, the beef filling can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just assemble the samosas and fry them when you’re ready to serve.
Can I use a different type of meat?
Yes, you can use chicken, lamb, or even vegetables as a substitute for beef in the filling.
How can I make the samosas spicier?
To make them spicier, you can add more chili powder or chopped green chilies to the beef mixture.
Can I freeze the samosas?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked samosas. Just place them on a tray in a single layer and freeze them. Once frozen, transfer them to a ziplock bag. Fry them directly from the freezer when you’re ready to serve.
