Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Brown the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season the Filling

    Stir in cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the spices are well incorporated.

  5. 5

    Finish the Filling

    Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro. Allow the mixture to cool while preparing the dough.

Dough Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the oil and mix until crumbly.

  2. 7

    Add Water

    Gradually add water, kneading until a smooth and pliable dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 8

    Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the rested dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter).

  2. 9

    Fill the Samosas

    Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the beef filling and seal the top edge by pinching it together.

  3. 10

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil for frying over medium-high heat.

  4. 11

    Fry the Samosas

    Once the oil is hot, carefully drop in the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

  5. 12

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
