Meat Samosas:

Spring roll pastry
1Ib minced mutton, 2 chopped onions and chillies mixed in
1 tin of tomatoes
2 tsp cumin pwdr

1 tsp salt

2 tsp chillie pwdr

3 crushed cloves of garlic

Put in pot, mix well, add 1 pint of water, reduce mixture until thick, when cool put a desert spoon full of the mixture in the pastry, fold into samosa type shape. Don’t ask me how, I always make this bit up as I go along. Before you fry the samosas off, brush edges of pastry with egg white to seal them off. Fry until golden brown texture like new etc...


Top tip: Lay damp tea towel over pastry sheets so you can separate the sheets easily.





Vegetable Samosas:

As above only substitute meat with peas and cooked spuds. Plus add 2 tsp of Garam Masala pwdr into the mix.


I hope you make them and enjoy them as much as I have over the years. Let me know how you get on!
