For the samosa dough, you will need:
* 120 grams of plain white flour.
* 3 tablespoonful of vegetable oil or melted butter.
* Half teaspoon of dry parsley, thyme or herb of choice.
* Half leveled teaspoon of salt.
* Warm water (as needed).
For the filling:
*200 grams of minced beef meat.
* 2 medium Irish potatoes.
*2 medium carrots (optional).
*2 handfuls of green peas.
*1 long stalk of spring onion or minced onion.
* 1 tiny garlic/a pinch of garlic powder.
* 1 teaspoon of curry powder.
* A pinch of black pepper.
* 1 stock cube.
* 2 cooking spoonful of vegetable oil.
* chilli pepper (Cayenne to taste).
* salt (to taste).
* vegetable oil for deep frying.
Preparation:
Samosa filling:
* Cut the spring onions into thin circles and set aside.
* wash and peel the Irish potatoes and carrots. Cut into very tiny bits and cook in salted water for 5minutes. If using fresh peas, add into the carrots and potatoes, cook for 5minutes until all the vegetables are soft. Strain and set aside.
* Heat up the oil in a pot, add the spring onions, garlic, curry, black pepper and stir-fry for few seconds.
* Add the minced meat. Stir-fry the meat until the color changes from pink to a pale color.
* Add the stock cubes, chilli pepper and salt to taste. Then add the cooked vegetables. Mix thoroughly, set aside and leave to cool.
Samosa dough:
* Pour the flour into a bowl, add salt and add the 3-table spoonful of vegetable oil and lukewarm water. Mix well until you get a stretchy dough.
* Then cover with an airtight plastic wrap or aluminum foil and leave to rest for about 15minutes.
* After 15minutes, knead the dough to make it more stretchy and elastic.
* Cut out a bit, roll out with a rolling pin. Make sure its not so thin, should be about 3-4 mm in thickness.
* Using a circular cutter, cut the rolled dough and remove the excess dough at the corners and then cut the circular shaped into 2-diameters (two half circles of equal sizes).
* Rub water on the straight edge of one of the dough and shape it into a cone (the shape of a party heart); Now take a spoonful of the samosa filling and scoop it into the cone shaped dough.
* Don't over fill it. Rub some water at the edges and seal tightly.
* Repeat this process for the remaining dough.
* Heat up some oil until moderately hot and fry the samosas in it.
* Fry both sides of the samosa until lightly brown and transfer into a sieve lined with paper towels and enjoy!
Tip: If you'll rather bake the samosa, brush with oil or egg wash, set your oven to 180°c and bake for 15minutes. Enjoy with a chilled drink or sause.
