- 60 ml water (approximately)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Beef Filling
- 250 g beef mince
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 carrot finely grated
- 1 potato boiled and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- salt to taste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil for cooking

- oil for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Pastry:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and vegetable oil.
- Gradually add water while kneading to form a stiff and smooth dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Prepare the Beef Filling:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
- Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger paste. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through.
- Add the grated carrot, diced potato, frozen peas, and all the spices – coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Cook the beef filling mixture for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the spices are well-incorporated.
- Remove from heat, add chopped fresh coriander leaves, and let the filling cool down.
Shape and Fill the Beef Samosas:
- Divide the dough into small equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a thin oval or round shape.
- Cut each oval/round in half to create two semi-circles.
- Take one semi-circle, brush water on the straight edge, and form a cone shape by folding it over the rounded edge, pressing gently to seal.
- Fill each cone with the prepared beef filling.
- Seal the open edge by pinching it together to form a triangular pastry. Ensure it's tightly sealed to prevent the filling from spilling during frying.
- Repeat this process for the remaining dough and filling.
Fry the Beef Samosas:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to about 180°C (350°F).
- Carefully slide the prepared beef samosas into the hot oil, a few at a time.
- Fry the samosas until they turn golden brown and crispy, usually takes about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Remove the fried beef samosas with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.Serve your homemade beef samosas hot with chutney or sauce of your choice. Enjoy!
