Mom’s samosas

 samosas1.jpg

I had a few little friends over recently and we made the most delicious bread rolls which I will post about soon. I found these in my freezer, samosas do freeze quite well and they’re handy to have around. We had these as a tea time snack. These are made with store bought spring roll wrappers folded into triangles and filled. This is my mother’s recipe. 

Mom’s samosas  

Ingredients 

3 tablespoons oil 

1 medium onion, diced 

1 cm ginger 

2 cloves garlic 

1 green chilli diced 

500g minced beef 

1 large potato diced into small cubes 

2 tablespoons meat curry powder  

Method 

Pound garlic and ginger in a pestle and mortar. Fry onions in oil till fragrant, add chilli and continue to fry for 2 mins. Add garlic and ginger mixture, fry for another 2 mins. Add curry powder. Add meat and potato and continue cooking till dry and potatoes are tender. Add salt to taste. Use as filling when cool.

    My mom does not make samosa and neither does my wife Bhavana. I have to settle for frozen.
