Impress your guests with a platter of these spicy beef samosas – there is plenty for everyone!
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, halved, thinly sliced
- 250g regular beef mince
- 2 teaspoons plain flour
- 1/4 cup Massel vegetable liquid stock
- 1/2 cup (75g) frozen mixed vegetables
- 1-2 teaspoons garam masala
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
- Salt & freshly ground pepper
- 4 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry, thawed
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
- Mango chutney, to serve
Method
- Step 1Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large pan and cook onion until golden. Add mince and stir-fry until cooked through. Sprinkle flour over mince and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add stock and allow mixture to boil and thicken. Stir through vegetables, garam masala, coriander, salt and pepper and then cool.
- Step 2Use an 8cm cutter to cut 9 rounds from each pastry sheet. Place a heaped teaspoons of mixture in the centre of each round. Lightly moisten edges of pastry with water, then bring edges together to enclose filling, forming a half moon shape. Pinch pastry to seal and form a scalloped edge.
- Step 3Deep fry samosas in batches for about 2 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and lightly browned. Serve with some chutney for dipping.
Notes
Note: Samosas can be successfully baked at 200°C, for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
