5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon chile powder, or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 (6 ounce) package frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon minced pickled jalapeno pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 (12 ounce) package wonton wrappers
  • vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic; cook until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  2. 2
    Mix in coriander, cumin, salt, turmeric, chile powder, and ginger. Add peas and water; bring to boil. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Uncover and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until any remaining liquid evaporates.
  3. 3
    Stir jalapenos and garam masala into the beef mixture. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice; let cool until safe to handle, at least 15 minutes.
  4. 4
    Drop about 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture onto the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold them over the filling, and seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers.
  5. 5
    Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add samosas in batches; fry until browned, 1 to 2 inches per side.
