EPISODE 4: RECIPE

SMAAKLIKE SAMOOSAS

• Place the mince in a hot pan, add the spices (save the garam masala for last as this is already roasted), the ginger and garlic paste, chilli, salt, half of the lemon juice.
• Fry the mince on medium heat whilst stirring constantly to avoid it forming lumps.
• Make sure you dry it completely, if it sticks a little in the pan, that’s fine… it will make the mince taste better.
• Whilst the mince is still hot, add the chopped onions gradually and mix it in on low heat.
• Do not over-cook, just stir the mixture around for about 3 mins and switch off.
• If you overcook the onions they will release water and your mixture will become soggy, it needs to stay dry.
• After you turn off the heat, add the tbsp. of butter, some garam masala, fresh coriander and the remaining lemon juice and mix.
• Let the mixture cool.
• Brush the samoosa pastry with melted butter.
• Put a spoonful of the mixture into the corner of the samoosa pastry and fold into little triangles.
