Interesting to note that Samosa has its origin from Central Asia. We in Africa and specifically Kenya love and enjoy Samosas. A very tasty snack especially when well done.

Steps

1hr 30mins

1

Dice your onions, chop your coriander & spring onions then make your garlic & ginger paste then set aside.
2

Put your 2tbsps of cooking oil in a pan and heat. Ensure the pan is well heated before adding your minced meat.
3

Stir and ensure your minced meat is well crumbled then add your onions
4

Add your garlic and ginger paste, cumin, chilli and garam masala and stir well.
Add your spring onions and stir some more to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed.
Once cooked, switch off the cooker then add your coriander and set aside your minced meat to cool as you begin preparing your pockets.
5

For the pockets, put your flour in a bowl, add salt then create a well in the middle. Add water little by little as you mix.
6

Once you have prepared your dough, divide it into 2 balls
7

Take 1 ball, divide into quarters, make 4 balls then flatten each ball.
8

Take one piece and apply oil then put another on top apply oil and repeat until all the 4 pieces are on top of each other. Then use your rolling pin to flatten them.
9

On a heated pan with medium heat, put the rolled piece and turn after 3 seconds, "peel" the first piece and set aside. Turn and remove the second piece. Repeat until all 4 pieces are slightly cooked.
10

Pile the slightly cooked pieces on top of each other then cut into quarters. Before cutting into quarters, if your pieces are not perfectly round, you can use a round plate to cut out the rugged/uneven edges.
11

Make a thick paste which acts as glue for sealing the pockets.
12

Take each pocket and fill in with some minced meat then seal.
13

In a frying pan, heat some oil on medium heat. Dip your filled pockets once the oil is hot enough. Keep turning the sides to ensure your samosas don't burn. Once they have a nice golden brown color, they're ready to be removed
14

You can serve your samosas with a cup of tea/coffee or a drink of your choice. Very tasty 😋 Enjoy!
