Crispy beef samosas filled with flavorful spiced ground beef, veggies, and aromatic seasonings.
Ingredients:
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 bay leaf, crushed
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 quart oil for deep frying
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green chile peppers
  • 1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough
Instructions:
  • Boil a pot of salted water. Add potatoes and peas. Cook until potatoes are tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash together, and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan until shimmering. Add cumin seeds and bay leaf and cook until fragrant and seeds are browned. Add ground beef and onions, cook until beef is browned and crumbly, and onions are soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Mix in fragrant garlic and ginger. Season generously with a delightful blend of salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper. Fold in the creamy mashed potatoes. Let it cool in the refrigerator for an hour, or until perfectly chilled.
  • In a deep saucepan, warm 1 quart of oil over medium heat until hot.
  • Combine fresh, fragrant cilantro and spicy green chile peppers with the flavorful potato and beef mixture. Spoon around 1 tablespoon of the delicious filling onto every phyllo sheet. Carefully fold the sheets into tantalizing triangles, sealing the edges with a touch of dampened fingers.
  • Carefully drop samosas into hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the rest of the samosas. Serve while warm.
