Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 grams peas, frozen
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 20 sheets spring roll wrappers or samosa pastry
• 0 water, for sealing the pastry
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, for about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the spices to release their aromas.

Step 5

Add the frozen peas to the mixture and cook for another 3 minutes until they are heated through.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro. Allow the filling to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Lay a spring roll wrapper or a sheet of samosa pastry on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the beef filling into one corner of the pastry, fold over to create a triangle, and continue folding in triangles until you reach the end of the strip.

Step 8

Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

In a deep frying pan, heat 500 milliliters of vegetable oil over medium heat. Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of pastry into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Step 10

Carefully add a few samosas to the oil at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 11

Use a slotted spoon to remove the samosas from the oil, and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 12

Serve the beef samosas hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
