Cooking Instructions
- 1
Samosa filling:
Put a little oil in a pan and cook the ground meat. Once cooked, set aside. Remove any meat residue from the pan and fry the cumin and cilantro for 30 minutes. - 2
Add the meat and the rest of the ingredients (onion, tomato, and chili, all finely chopped) together. Sauté while stirring a bit, then add half a cup of water and let it simmer until all the water is absorbed.
- 3
Remove from heat and let cool.
- 4
Make samosa dough:
Put flour in a bowl, add oil, and mix with your hands to get crumbs. - 5
Add water and continue mixing until you get a dough. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
- 6
Roll into a ball, coat the outside with vegetable oil, and place in a plastic bag. Let it rest for half an hour.
- 7
Make the samosas:
Remove from the bag, knead again for 5 minutes, and divide the dough into 8 equal parts. - 8
With each part, make a ball. Using a bottle, roll out the ball on a floured surface to prevent sticking. They should form a circle about 7 inches in diameter. Cut the circle in half.
- 9
Take one of the halves and fold to form a cone. Seal the edge with your fingers and a little water to close it.
- 10
Fill the cone through the opening and then seal it using the same method.
- 11
Fry the samosas in plenty of oil (or a deep fryer). Serve cold, hot, or warm.

Baked Butternut Squash Samosas Baked Butternut Squash Samosas
Another one for my Butternut Squash series ;) Samosas are often made with potatoes but I tried it with butternut squash instead! I also find baking samosas instead of frying is much easier and they turn out less oily.There are a lot of spices in here but if you don't have them all, don't worry. It will still taste good if you leave something out or you could even replace with curry powder or something else you like.Makes 8 samosas.

Crispy Samosas with Easy Homemade Wrappers Crispy Samosas with Easy Homemade Wrappers
I had some really good samosas at a restaurant and made them again at home! I used a recipe from a cookbook and omitted the butter and decreased the vegetable oil for a healthier result.Homemade samosa wrappers are seriously delicious! You can fill them with whatever you want. If you use ground meat, it will harden just a bit when cooled so it's easy to work with.If you don't want to use oil in the wrappers, I recommend this recipe -. They are gyoza skins made with egg but will still be crispy when fried. For 8 samosas. Recipe by Kuminchan

Mishti Singara: Sweet Samosas Stuffed with Kheer and Khoya Mishti Singara: Sweet Samosas Stuffed with Kheer and Khoya
While traditional samosa or singara (that's what we Bengalis call it) are filled with a spicy potato filling, this one comes with a sweet filling made of reduced milk, milk solids and semolina, laced in sticky sugar syrup. The filling can also be made of chhana or cottage cheese, but I like the kheer version more.The given proportion yields around 40 small samosas or 30 large ones.See more on my blog post here: http://www.allthatsdelicious.com/mishti-singara-recipe
