Ground Beef Samosas















Ingredients:
Browned Ground Beef
Finely minced onion, cilantro and serano peppers
Salt, ground cumin, lemon juice, sugar
Cheese cloth (cotton cloth piece will do)

Preparations:
To brown the ground beef, just heat the ground beef in a non-stick pan with a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp of garlic and ginger paste until all the water has evaporated completely and the ground beef is mostly dry. Keep a close eye on the ground beef and stir occasionally so it doesn't burn or stick. Once it is ready, place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl to cool off completely.
While the meat is cooling, finely mince 2-3 medium sized onions for 1 lb of beef in the food processor. Remove the onions into a cheese cloth and wrap them tightly into a ball by twisting. Then squeeze out all the water from the onions in the sink. Once they look fairly dry, dump them into the cold ground beef bowl. Now, finely mince some cilantro and serano peppers in the same food processor. Add those to the bowl as well. At this point, add 2 tbsp of lemon juice, a pinch of sugar, 2 tsp of ground cumin and salt to taste to the bowl. Mix well and taste to make sure the salt content is to your taste. To add more heat, add some pepper flakes at the end. Mix well and follow the "HOW TO FOLD SAMOSA" recipe to prepare the samosas. Deep fry the samosas on medium-low heat in vegetable oil or store them in ziploc bags in the freezer for later use. Enjoy!!!
