Beef Samosas

This is something that I loved to eat growing up. These are crispy on the outside, baked until golden, and filled with a perfectly spiced beef filling. They are a great snack, and are baked instead of fried, so they are healthier for you. Pair them with a peach or mango chutney, or a mint yoghurt dipping sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 large red onion

• 3 garlic cloves

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 500g ground beef

• 1 tsp each coriander, cumin, dried methi leaves

• 1.5 tsp meat spice

• 1.5 tsp garam masala

• 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

• 1/4 tsp turmeric

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen)

• 1 tbsp peach chutney

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Samosa wrappers

Method:

• Finely chop the onion and garlic, then add them to a large pan with the olive oil and bring to a medium heat. Fry until golden.

• Add the ground beef along with the coriander, cumin, dried methi leaves, meat spice, garam masala, chilli flakes, turmeric, and paprika. Cook until the meat is browned.

• Add the peas, peach chutney, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cook for 15-20 minutes.

• Thaw your samosa wrappers and place a damp towel on top of them so that they don’t dry out while you are folding the samosas.

• Take a wrapper and fold one corner to the opposite corner to make a triangle. With the flat side facing up, take the right corner and fold it towards the middle to make a pocket.

• Add some beef filling to the pocket then keep folding until you have a triangle. Squeeze the edges shut. Continue until all of the beef filling and samosa wrappers are used up.

• Lay the samosas onto a lined baking tray. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

• Once all of your samosas are made, brush them with olive oil, then bake them for 30 minutes or until golden brown on the outside.

• Serve them with a chutney or mint yoghurt dipping sauce. Enjoy!
