Spicy Beef Samosas (Samosas Épicés au Bœuf)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 12 sheets of samosa pastry
  • Water for sealing the samosas
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  3. Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to toast and the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
  4. Take one sheet of samosa pastry and place a spoonful of the beef filling in the center. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, then seal the edges with water.
  5. Heat oil in a deep skillet 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 spicy beef samosas hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
