BEEF SAMOSAS
BEEF SAMOSAS RECIPE
PASTRY INGREDIENTS
500g all-purpose flour
200ml water
3 pinches of salt
METHOD
STEP 1
In a large bowl, place the flour and salt. Make a well (small hole at the centre) and add the water to make a dough.
STEP 2
Knead until the dough is not sticking to the bowl adding little flour if need be. When done, the dough should be soft when you press with your finger and should have a smooth top.
STEP 3
Allow dough to rest for about 10 minutes while covered to avoid forming a crust.
STEP 4
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, the size of a golf ball.
STEP 5
Roll the balls thin into a disc shape and cook them lightly just enough to make the dough dry on both sides on a medium-hot pan. Place on a plate and cover until all is done.
STEP 6
Trim the pre-cooked pastries to have a perfect circle then cut into 4 quarters.
STEP 7
Fold each quarter to form a pocket ready to add the filling.
FILLING INGREDIENTS
½ kg minced meat
1 large onion
3 cloves of garlic
2 tsp cumin seeds
Salt to taste
Chopped coriander
Chili (optional)
METHOD
STEP 1
On a hot pan with little oil, cook the meat until it’s not pink.
STEP 2
Add the onion, cumin and garlic and mix into the meat and allow to cook for a few minutes until the onion is soft.
STEP 3
The meat is ready when it’s dry from its juices. Add the chopped coriander and turn off the heat.
STEP 4
Allow for the meat to cool down then fill it in the samosa pockets sealing the pockets with a glue made using flour and little water.
STEP 5
Fry the samosas until golden brown
Enjoy the hot samosas with your favourite chutney or sauce!
