Preparation
Kitchen utensils
1 Skillet, 1 Measuring cups, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Small knife, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Slotted spatula, 1 Meat mallet, 1 Plastic wrap
Preparation steps
1.
For the dough, mix the flour, clarified butter and salt together with enough warm water to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead for 3 minutes then return to the bowl and let rest while you make the filling.
2.
For the filling, heat the clarified butter in a wide pan and gently fry the spices for 2 minutes.
3.
Add the onion, cook until softened then stir in the lamb, peas and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the meat is well browned then set aside.
4.
Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each one out on a floured board to make a circle about 20 cm/8 " in diameter.
5.
Cut each circle in half, place a little of the filling on one half of each semi-circle, moisten the edges with water then fold over the pastry and press together the edges to make a tight seal.
6.
Heat the oil in a deep pan until small bubble rise to the surface then deep fry the samosas in batches for 3 - 4 minutes, turning once, until they are golden brown.
7.
Drain the samosas on kitchen paper and serve warm.
