Sambosa, a delightful Indian snack, features crispy pastry filled with spiced ground beef and onions, perfect for sharing at gatherings or enjoying as a savory treat during a cozy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 453.6 g ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying vegetable oil

Method

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add oil and gradually add water to form a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until soft. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a pan, heat a little oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the cooked ground beef, cumin, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, then cut it in half.

  5. 5

    Take one half circle, form a cone, and seal the edge. Fill with the meat mixture and seal the top edge with a bit of water.

  6. 6

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan. Fry the sambosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove sambosas from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  8. 8

    Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
