Beef Samosas Recipe

Beef Samosas Recipe

(Indian Beef Samosas Recipe)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus extra for deep-frying

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon curry powder

½ teaspoon turmeric

200 g minced beef

¾ cup (90 g) frozen peas

1 tablespoon brown sugar

6 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed

¼ cup chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves

Method:

Heat oil in large frying pan on medium.  Add garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 minute.  Stir through onion, curry powder and turmeric.  Cook for 2-3 minutes, until onion has softened.  Add beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up lumps with back of a spoon.  Stir through peas and brown sugar.  Set aside to cool completely.  Using a 10cm cutter, cut 4 circles from each pastry sheet.  Place 1 heaped teaspoon beef mixture in center of each.  Sprinkle with coriander.  Fold over pastry, forming a semicircle, and pinch edges together to seal.  Heat extra oil in a deep frying pan or saucepan on high until a cube of bread sizzles immediately when immersed.  Deep-fry samosas in small batches for 2 minutes each, until crisp and golden.  Drain on paper towels.  Serve hot.
