Beef Samosa

Ingredients:

(pastry)
1 cup homebaking flour
2 tsp vegetable oil
salt to taste
(filling)
500g beef minced meat
2 onions, chopped
1 tsp chilli powder
1 inch ginger, crushed
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ bunch dania, chopped
salt to taste
(paste)
2 tbsp homebaking flour
water
oil for deep frying

Method:

(filling) Put the meat, ginger, chilli and salt in a frying pan and cook for 15 minutes. Add the chopped onions, dania and lemon juice. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

(pastry) Sift the flour into a bowl and add the salt and oil. Add enough cold water to form a stiff dough. Knead well. Divide the mixture into 8 small balls. Flatten one ball at a time, brush it with oil and roll it out to the size of a saucer. Cook over a hot griddle for about half a minute on each side.

Cut them into strips of 3 inches wide. Fold the strip into a 3 cornered case and fill it with the meat mixture. Make the sealing paste with flour and water and seal the ends of all the cases. Fry in deep hot oil until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper and serve.

Makes 8 circles.
