Indian Recipe » Easy Meat Samosas

A easy American adaptation of samosas. Baked for less fat and less mess. These are also good with just potatoes; replace meat with 1 extra cup of potatoes.

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup petite-cut potato
• 1 small onion, minced
• ½ pound ground beef
• 2 ½ tablespoons curry powder
• 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup chicken stock
• 1 cup peas
• 1 (15 ounce) package prepared pie crusts, at room temperature and each cut into quarters
• 1 egg
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• ¼ teaspoon curry powder

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute potato and onion in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Break beef into small pieces and add to the skillet; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Season beef mixture with 2 1/2 tablespoons curry powder, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour chicken stock over the beef mixture; add peas and stir. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the stock is nearly evaporated and the potatoes are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Moisten edges of each pie crust triangle with wet fingers. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture into the middle of each dough piece. Fold dough over the filling into a triangle; crimp edges together with a fork to seal beef inside the triangle. Arrange samosas onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Beat egg with turmeric and 1/4 teaspoon curry powder in a bowl; brush over the samosas.
7. Bake samosas in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
