Samosas
I can't think of a single person I know that doesn't love Samosas! I like to use Chicken mince over Lamb mince because I prefer the flavour overall. Bonus – Air fried samosas taste just as delicious as deep fried samosas.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp ghee/oil
- 3 onion (diced)
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 6-7 cloves of garlic (crushed)
- 2-3 green chillies (crushed)
- 1 tbsp cumin powder
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- salt
- 35oz chicken mince
- A handful of copped coriander
- 20-25 samosa pastry sheets
- 1 tbsp flour
- 3 tbsp water
Instructions
Step 1
In a pan over medium heat, saute the oil and add the onions, garlic, ginger and green chilli. Fry for 5 minutes until very light golden
Step 2
Add all the spices and salt, then fry for a minute before stirring in the mince. Cover and cook on low for 45 minutes, or till the meat is cooked. It may seem like a long time but the mince needs to be dried out
Step 3
Uncover and if there is any water remaining, keep the mixture on the heat until it dries out as much as possible
Step 4
Add in the chopped coriander and leave to cool
Step 5
Make a paste from the flour and water and set aside
Step 6
Carefully strip out one sheet from the pastry bundle and lay it straight
Step 7
Cover the remaining pastry with a damp muslin cloth
Step 8
Place a small portion of the samosa mixture onto the left corner. Fold into a triangle and continue to turn until there is a thin rectangular bit of pastry left hanging
Step 9
Seal the samosa by adding a little paste to the remaining edge, then fold and press in gently
Step 10
Repeat the process for the rest of the samosas
Step 11
Preheat the grill using the Air Fryer function for 5 minutes on high. Brush the samosas with oil
Step 12
Arrange 7 – 8 samosas in the basket and cook for 15 – 18 minutes or until golden brown turning in between. Repeat the process for the remaining Samosas
