Description
A delightful family recipe for crispy samosas filled with spiced lamb and paired with sweet, tangy mango chutney.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- Samosa pastry (ready-made or homemade)
- Mango chutney (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions until translucent.
- Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.
- Incorporate the ground lamb and cook until browned.
- Stir in cumin, coriander, garam masala, and chili powder. Mix well, then fold in fresh cilantro. Allow to cool.
- If making pastry, mix flour with salt and water to form a smooth dough; let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll dough into circles, cut in half, and shape into cones, filling them with cooled lamb mixture.
- Seal edges and either deep-fry until golden brown or bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.
- Serve warm with mango chutney.
Notes
Keep the dough moist to avoid cracking. Don’t overfill the samosas to prevent bursting during cooking.
