Meat Samosas Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt and butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Pour in water, using more (up to approximately 1/4 cup) if necessary to make a smooth dough. Pat into a ball. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead 10 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Return to the bowl, cover and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large, deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stir in onion, garlic, green chile peppers and ginger. Cook 5 minutes, or until onions are golden brown. Stir in turmeric, chili powder, ground lamb and salt. Cook until the lamb meat is evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in garam masala and lemon juice. Continue cooking 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
• Divide dough into 15 equal portions. Roll portions into balls, then flatten into 4 inch circles. Cut each circle in half. Dampen edges and form semicircles into cones. Fill cones with equal portions of the lamb meat mixture. Dampen top and bottom edges of cones, and pinch to seal.
• Carefully lower cones into preheated oil a few at a time. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan bring some lightly salted water to boil for potatoes.
• Add potatoes and frozen peas.
• Cook until potatoes are tender about 15 minutes.
• Drain, set aside.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Brown cumin seeds and bay leaf.
• Add in onions and ground beef.
• Saute until beef has all been browned and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic, fresh ginger.
• Season with black pepper, salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and cardamom.
• Stir in the potato mixture.
• Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until cool.
• Remove bay leaves.
• In the meantime, make an egg-wash beating the egg and water in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a large sauce pan or fryer on high to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Brush both sides of a spring roll wrapper with egg-wash.
• In the corner of the wrapper place about 1 tablespoon of meat and potato mixture.
• Fold wrapper into triangles, (There is usually a diagram on the spring roll wrapper package) pressing edges together making sure edges are sealed.
• Fry until golden brown, in small batches, about 3 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
• Can be eaten cold but taste better warm.
• Use sweet chili sauce, mango chutney or plum sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break apart the meat and cook for 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until beef is brown and onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic, jalapeño, salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, and scallions to the meat. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the peas and cilantro, then cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the meat filling from the heat and let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, olive oil, and water. Use your hand or a spatula to mix together. Once the dough pulls away from sides of the bowl, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 4 minutes or until the dough is smooth and soft.
• Shape dough into a ball and brush with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a warm damp tea towel. Let rest for 30 minutes.
• Remove tea towel and plastic wrap and roll the dough out into a 10-inch (25-cm) long log. Cut into 10 even sections. Take one section and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin circle about 10 inches (25-cm) in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough. Stack the dough circles as you roll them out, sprinkling a bit of flour between each one and keeping them covered with plastic wrap so they don't dry out.
• In a greased large pan over high heat, place one of the circles of dough and cook for 10 seconds on each side. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Cut one of the par-cooked dough circles into four quarters. Take one quarter and, with the round side closest to you, fold the bottom half to the right. Use the flour paste to seal the fold. Repeat with the left side, crossing over your previous fold to create a cone like pocket. Fill the pocket with meat filling, then fold the remaining tip of the dough towards you and seal with flour paste. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
• In a large, deep pan, heat the canola oil to 350°F (180°C). Once the oil is at the correct temperature, carefully place 4-6 sambusas in the pan. Fry for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until light, golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Sift flour and salt together.
• Make a well in the center of the mixture and quickly pour in oil and water. Stir briskly until combined, gradually adding more water if necessary. You should aim for a slightly moist dough that sticks together.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, cover with damp towel.
• To assemble samosa:.
• break off pieces of dough (leaving what's left under the towel and shape into balls.
• Roll each ball into a circle about 1/10 of an inch thick and 5 inches across.
• Cut the circle in half. In one side put filling, fold half of the half circle over to make a triangle.
• Seal by brushing a bit of water along the edges and pinching it together with your finger.
• Heat 2 inches oil in a skillet or pan to 375 degrees. Put in samosas and let it fry to a golden brown on each side. Then drain on cloth or paper towel and eat.
• MEAT FILLING:.
• Crush ginger and garlic.
• Combine all ingredients in a large skillet or pan and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Add a bit of oil if meat is too lean to grease the pan.
• When meat is well browned, drain off any excess fat, set aside until ready to fill pastry.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, ghee, salt and caraway seed until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Gradually stir in enough water to form a firm dough.

Stir in optional ingredients if desired. Set aside., Divide dough into six pieces. Roll one piece of dough into a 10x6-in. oval. Cut dough in half. Moisten straight edge with water. Bring one corner of half moon up to meet the other corner of the half moon, forming a cone. Pinch seam to seal. Fill with 3-4 tablespoons potato mixture. Moisten curved edge of dough with water; fold over top of filling and and press seam to seal. Gently press the bottom of the samosa to flatten slightly. Repeat with remaining dough and filling., Preheat air fryer to 350°. Brush the samosas with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil.
