Shailaja Samosa Recipe - Kenyan Style

A samosa is a triangular savory pastry fried in oil, containing spiced vegetables or meat. This treat originated in India, but it has become very popular in many other parts of the world---especially in East Africa! Check out our recipe for these tasty treats!

  

1 pound ground beef ( or you can substitute chicken or turkey)

1/2 - 1 small onion chopped

1 tsp. turmeric

1 tsp. curry powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. red pepper lime wedges

1/4 cup cilantro

1/4 green pepper - diced small

3 cloves garlic

Makes 16 wrappers

Buy Commercial Egg or Spring Roll, or you can make the wraps homemade

2 cup flour

1 tsp. oil

1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 cup of water

Brush with oil before rolling

1. Sauté onions till soft
2. Add the meat and cook until brown, & add all other ingredients.
3. Mix dough, knead & let sit (I also think an egg/spring roll wrapper would taste good as well).
4. Roll out into balls of dough. Roll each flat into a circle.
5. Fill wrapper with 2 scoops of meat filling - only 1/2 of the circle - then fold over to look like its a dumpling, and crimp the edges.
6. Fry in oil until golden brown
