Cape Malay Samoosas

Step by stepInstructions

1. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a skillet and cook the onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and turmeric and stir 1 minute.
2. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 8 minutes.
3. Stir in the potatoes, peas, cilantro, salt, and lemon juice. Cook for 3 minutes, then cool the filling completely.
4. Cut each pastry wrapper in half. Place a spoonful of filling at one end and fold the pastry over diagonally, then keep folding in triangles until the wrapper is used up.
5. Seal the final edge with a little of the flour paste. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
6. Heat the frying oil to 350 F and fry the samoosas in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, turning, until deep golden and crisp.
7. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with chutney or lemon wedges.
