Ingredients
- 500g minced beef
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Add minced beef to the pan and cook until browned. Mix in cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook until the beef is fully cooked and dry. Add green chilies and fresh coriander. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 3: Fill the Samosa Wrappers
Take a samosa wrapper and fold it into a cone. Fill the cone with the prepared beef filling. Seal the edges with beaten egg to close the wrapper securely.
Step 4: Fry the Samosas
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the samosas hot with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or ketchup.
FAQs
Can I bake the samosas instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, brushing them with oil beforehand for a crispy texture.
Can I freeze the samosas?
Absolutely! Prepare the samosas and freeze them before frying. When ready to cook, fry them directly from frozen.
What can I use instead of samosa wrappers?
You can use spring roll wrappers or make your own dough with flour, water, and a pinch of salt.
How do I prevent the samosas from opening while frying?
Ensure the edges are properly sealed with beaten egg, and press firmly to secure the folds.
Can I add vegetables to the filling?
Yes, you can add peas, carrots, or potatoes for a more diverse filling.
