Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 500 g Minced Meat
  • 400 g Potatoes boiled
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 2 Onions
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tbsp Coriander Seeds crushed
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 handful Coriander

For The Dough

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add the minced meat, breaking up any lumps, and cook for 6–8 minutes until the colour changes.
  • Stir in the garlic paste and cumin seeds, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add chopped onions and cook for 3–4 minutes until they soften.
  • Mix in the chilli powder, crushed coriander seeds, turmeric powder, and salt, cooking for another 3–4 minutes to combine the flavours.
  • Add the boiled potatoes and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring gently to mix.
  • Finish the filling by folding in fresh coriander, then set it aside to cool completely.
  • For the dough, combine plain flour, carom seeds, salt, and oil in a bowl until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  • Gradually add water in small amounts while kneading until the dough is firm and smooth.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into small round balls, then roll each ball into a circle of medium thickness.
  • Cut each rolled circle in half, then shape one half into a cone and seal the edge with water.
  • Fill the cone with the cooled keema mixture, being careful not to overfill, and seal the top with water. At this stage, samosas can be frozen if desired.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan to medium-hot. Carefully place samosas in the oil and fry for 4–5 minutes on one side.
  • Flip the samosas and fry for an additional 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  • Remove samosas from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney.
