Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
– 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
– 1 teaspoon coriander powder
– 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
– 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust for heat)
– 1/2 cup peas (optional)
– Salt to taste
– Oil for frying
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create delicious beef samosas:
1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add vegetable oil and mix well. Gradually add water, kneading until you have a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.
3. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Add Spices: Stir in cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt. Cook for a few more minutes until spices are well combined. If using peas, add them now. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
5. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
6. Cut and Shape: Cut each circle in half. Take one half and form a cone by folding it over, sealing the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the beef mixture and seal the top edge with water.
7. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat enough oil for frying over medium heat.
8. Fry the Samosas: Carefully drop the filled samosas into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove and drain on paper towels.
9. Cool and Serve: Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving.
