Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 sheets of samosa pastry or phyllo dough
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and diced potatoes to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
  4. Take one sheet of samosa pastry or phyllo dough and place a spoonful of the beef and potato filling in the center. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding until the end of the pastry sheet. Use a little water to seal the edges.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve the Leribe Beef and Potato Samosas hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
