- Makes 36 samosas.
-
- 1 pack large egg roll wrappers
-
- Filling:
- 6 oz lean beef or lamb, finely grounded
- 1 medium cooked potato, diced
- 1/4 cup cooked green peas
- 1 medium onion, grated
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander or mint
-
- Cover the egg roll wrappers with a damp cloth until needed.
-
- Mix the filling ingredients except the butter, lemon juice and chopped
- herbs and fry in the butter until just cooked through. Sprinkle on
- approximately 2 tablespoons of water and increase the heat until the
- liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and
- herbs. Stir well and leave to cool.
-
- Cut the egg roll wrappers into 1 3/4 inch strips. To prepare the samosas
- using egg roll wrapper strips, turn one end over to make a triangular
- shaped pocket, then turn again in the opposite direction. Fill the cavity
- with a spoonful of the cooked filling and continue folding until the
- whole strip has been used and a triangular shaped pastry results. Seal
- the end with water or a paste made from flour and water.
-
- Heat oil for deep frying to fairly hot and fry the samosas, several at a
- time, until golden and crisp. Serve hot with a fresh mint chutney.
