Ingredients

Scale
  • 250g ground beef or lamb
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup peas (optional)
  • 1 pack samosa wrappers or homemade dough
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, and green chili. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add ground meat and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
  5. Add peas and cook for another 2 minutes (if using). Stir in chopped cilantro and remove from heat. Let the filling cool.
  6. Place 1 tablespoon of filling into each samosa wrapper or dough piece. Fold into triangles and seal the edges with water or flour paste.
  7. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with chutney or yogurt sauce.

Notes

  • Use pre-made samosa wrappers to save time.
  • Can be baked or air-fried for a lighter version.
  • Cool filling completely before assembling samosas to avoid sogginess.
  • Freeze uncooked samosas for later use.
