Instructions
Filling:
- Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet and add the cooking oil. Add and sauté finely diced red onions until golden.1 tablespoon cooking oil, 1 medium onion
- Next, add the ginger-garlic paste and finely chopped green chillies. Keep stirring until it is no longer raw and starts to smell amazing.2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste, 3 to 5 green chillies
- Turn the heat up and add the ground meat (beef or lamb). Break down any meat clumps using the spatula and cook until they are browned evenly.250 grams ground meat
- Reduce heat and season with the ground spices and salt. At this point, the meat mixture will release a lot of liquid. Cook the meat stirring now and then until all the moisture is gone and the mixture starts to turn dry.¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala, salt to taste
- Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Now, cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Open and boil off any excess liquid.¼ cup water
- Switch off and stir in the freshly chopped coriander leaves, onions, green chillies, and lime juice. Transfer to a bowl and let it cool completely.¼ cup chopped coriander leaves, 2 tablespoon red onion, 2 to 3 green chillies, 1 tablespoon lime juice
Wrapping:
- Keep the thawed samosa sheets always covered under a kitchen cloth. Peel one sheet and place it on the board. Bring the top right corner of the rectangle diagonally to the bottom to form a triangle. Now, hold the bottom left corner and fold diagonally to the top – again to form a triangular cone. Hold the cone in your hand with the excess sheet between your index and middle finger. Adjust the position so that the bottom tip of the cone is not widely open.12 to 15 Samosa sheets
- Fill the cone with at least 2 tbsps of the keema filling. Press down the filling with the back of the spoon.
- Bring the remainder of the wrapper down always aligning to the edges. Turn over and spread the flour paste all over the last leg of the wrapper. Fold over to seal and finish off the wrapping. Watch the video.2 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 2 to 3 tablespoon water
- Keep the wrapped samosas covered until you fry. At this point, you may also freeze the samosas.
Frying:
- Heat enough oil in a deep pan or kadai for deep frying. Test the oil readiness by dropping a small piece of samosa sheet.Oil to deep fry
- Add the samosas taking care not to crowd the pan. More samosas will bring down the oil temperature and will not fry properly.
- Fry both sides until golden and remove using a slotted spoon. Place the fried samosas in a mesh colander or cooling rack. Let them cool briefly before serving.
- Serve with your favourite ketchup or mint chutney and a hot cup of chai!
Notes
- Roasted powder: If possible, I highly recommend dry roasting 1 teaspoon each cumin and coriander seeds until fragrant. Crush using mortar pestle and add to the meat mixture instead of the powder.
- Greens: Instead of coriander or in addition to it, you can add some freshly chopped mint or dill leaves or spring onions for a change.
- Add the "add in the end" ingredients only if you are wrapping the samosas same day.
