Delicious Keema Samosa Recipe for a Mediterranean Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup minced lamb or beef (You can use a mix for more flavor.)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (Toast for better flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (Adjust to taste.)
  • 1 cup peas, boiled
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 package samosa pastry sheets (Store-bought is convenient.)
  • 1 cup oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Adjust to taste.)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the filling

    In a pan, heat oil and sauté onions until translucent. Add garlic, ginger, and spices. Cook for 2 minutes.

    Ensure spices are fragrant but not burnt.
  2. Cook the meat

    Add minced meat to the pan. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally. Add peas and cilantro.

    Make sure the meat is well cooked before proceeding.
  3. Add seasonings

    Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture cool.

    Cooling the filling helps with handling.
  4. Assemble the samosas

    Take a pastry sheet, cut it in half. Fold into a cone and fill with the meat mixture. Seal the edges.

    Use water to help seal the edges tightly.
  5. Fry the samosas

    Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry samosas in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

    Don't overcrowd the pan for even cooking.
