Filling Preparation

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. Add Aromatics

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

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. 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. Finish the Filling

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

Dough Preparation

6. Make the Dough

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

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

8. Roll Out the Dough

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

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.

10. Heat the Oil

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

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.

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.
