Ingredients
2tbsp olive oil
1small onion, diced
2tsp garlic paste
2tsp ginger paste
1lb ground beef (lean)
2tsp ground cumin
1/4tsp garam masala
1/2tsp curry powder
1/2tsp coriander powder
1/4tsp turmeric powder
1tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2tsp chili powder, or to taste (optional)
1/2cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 green chili peppers, finely chopped (optional)
samosa or spring roll wraps
neutral oil for frying
Flour/Glue Paste
1tbsp flour
3tbsp water
Instructions
1
In a pan over medium-high heat, add oil. Add onions until soft and golden in colour. Add garlic and ginger paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously.
2
Add the ground beef and begin cooking while breaking beef into smaller pieces.
3
Once beef is almost done cooking, stir in the spices (cumin, garam masala, coriander powder, curry powder, turmeric, salt, chili powder) and continue to cook until beef is thoroughly cooked. Turn the heat off and stir in cilantro and green chilies (if using). Set aside until cool.
4
Once beef is cool, start by making the paste. Mix together flour and water until a thick paste forms. Use this paste to seal the samosa wrap (see photos above for reference).
5
Fold the left side of the samosa wrap over and fold again using edge of wrap as a guide. Next, pick up the wrap gently in hand to not unfold and begin gently stuffing the wrap with beef filling. Use the paste on samosa wrap and fold wrap over and around, gently pressing to seal. Continue until beef filling is finished (see photos for reference).
6
Fry samosa over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
