Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add the ground lamb to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

  3. 3

    Stir in cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes until the spices are well combined. Add chopped cilantro and mix well.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Samosas

    Let the filling cool slightly. Take a sheet of filo dough, and cut it into strips. Place a spoonful of the filling at one end of the strip, fold the dough over to form a triangle, and continue folding the triangle along the strip until you reach the end. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Repeat the process with the remaining filling and dough.

  6. 6

    Fry the Samosas

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
