Making the samosa filling
- Heat up oil in a pan on medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic. Saute them until they are translucent.
- Add minced or ground beef into the pan. Evenly spread the beef in the pan and add curry powder, cumin seed powder, paprika and salt. Mix them well.
- Add water and mix. Let the beef cook for 5 minutes before adding the diced potatoes.
- Continue to add more water to create the pasty beef filling. Let it cook for 30 minutes and ensure to let it cool before adding to the samosa folds.
Making the beef samosas
- Prepare the egg wash or flour paste on the side
- Start folding the samosa triangles and put in the desired amount of cooled samosa filling. Ensure that the fold wraps neatly on the edges.
- Use the egg wash and brush on the last fold of the pastry to create a glue-like texture. Seal the samosa and you're done!
Freezing the samosa beef
- In order to store the samosas for a period of time, ensure that they are arranged flat and vacuum sealed. This will allow you to take out the indivdual samosas easily when you feel like having a tasty savoury snack.
