Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 small onion, minced
• ½ cup chicken stock
• ½ pound ground beef
• ¼ teaspoon curry powder
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 ½ tablespoons curry powder
• 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
• cooking spray
• 1 cup peas
• 1 cup petite-cut potato

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 6

Beat egg with turmeric and 1/4 teaspoon curry powder in a bowl; brush over the samosas.

Step 7

Bake samosas in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
