Samosas

Ingredients:

½ kilo

minced beef

 

Salt to taste

1.25ml/¼ tsp

haldi powder (turmeric)

1.25ml/¼ tsp

chili powder

3-4

green chilies chopped

2

onions, coarsely sliced

1 cup

fresh dhuniya leaves (Cilantro / Coriander leaves)

2 lb

frozen spring roll wrappers

 

flour

oil


Put the meat in a pot on medium-low heat and dry the water already present in it stirring constantly to prevent burning along with salt, pepper and haldi.

When water dries add green chili, onion and dhuniya and dry water on high heat and remove.

Cut sheets of thawed spring roll wrappers into strips about 3 by 6 inches. Fold one point up to form a triangular pocket. Fold over again, and then fill the pocket with some of the meat mixture. Bring down the top and seal all open sides with a paste made of flour and water (mix some flour dissolved in a little water and cooked into a thick paste). You should end up with a neat, secure triangle of meat-stuffed pastry.

Deep-fat fry filled samosas, a few at a time, in oil, until golden brown. Drain and keep warm. Serve hot with chutney.
