Serves 8
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp oil
200g beef mince
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp Rajah Flavourful & Mild Curry Powder
1 large onion, finely chopped
¾ cup frozen peas, steamed
5 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
25 slices white bread
3 eggs, beaten
Oil, for frying
Serving suggestion:
Chutney
Coriander sprigs
Red chilies (optional)
METHOD
-
Add 1 tbsp of oil to a pan and bring it to medium heat. Cook the mince with the salt and the Rajah Flavourful & Mild Curry Powder until all of the water is gone. Remove from the heat.
-
Wrap the onions in a clean tea towel and squeeze to remove excess moisture. Once most of the water is gone, add it to the mince mixture along with the peas and coriander.
-
Remove the crusts from the bread creating a square shape. Place the crusts in a food processor or blender and pulse until you have coarse crumbs. Pour the crumbs out into a dry pan over medium-low heat and stir continuously until toasted.
-
Use a rolling pin to roll out each crustless bread slice. Wet fingers with water and brush over the edges of the bread slices.
-
Place a tablespoon of mince filling into the middle of each slice of bread and fold the bread diagonally over itself, corner to corner. Press down the edges to seal, making a samoosa-type triangle. *Chef’s Tip: try not to overfill the bread pockets.
-
Dip each triangle in the beaten egg, followed by the homemade breadcrumbs.
-
Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over high heat. Add the samoosas and fry until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer to some paper towel to absorb excess oil.
-
On a large serving platter, arrange the mince samoosas into a wreath-like shape. Scatter fresh coriander and red chilies over the top, serve with chutney and ENJOY!
