👨‍🍳 Fremgangsmåte

1
Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Rub in the 2 tbsp of vegetable oil until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a firm dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

2
Make the filling: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat (approx. 180°C / 350°F). Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no pink remains. Drain off any excess fat. Stir in the chopped green chilies, garam masala, cumin, turmeric (if using), and salt to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the chopped cilantro. The filling should be relatively dry; if it seems too wet, cook for a few more minutes until the moisture evaporates.

Assemble the samosas: Divide the rested dough into 10-12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc. Roll each disc into a thin oval shape (about 6-7 inches long). Cut each oval in half crosswise. Take one half-circle, moisten the straight edge with water, and form it into a cone shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Fill the cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat filling. Moisten the open edges of the cone with water and pinch them together to seal securely, creating a triangular shape. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent oil from seeping in during frying. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Fry the samosas: Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok for deep frying over medium heat to approximately 175°C (350°F). Carefully slide 3-4 samosas into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and crispy. Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining samosas.

💡 Profesjonelle tips

✓Ensure the filling is completely dry before assembling to prevent a soggy crust.
✓Use a flour-water paste (a thick paste made from flour and water) to seal the edges of the samosas for a more secure closure.
✓Fry the samosas at a consistent medium heat (175°C / 350°F) for even cooking and a golden-brown, crispy exterior without burning.
✓If the dough becomes sticky while assembling, lightly dust your hands and work surface with flour.
