Punjabi Crunchy Beef Samosa - Making Punjabi Samosa always brings joy to my house and there are many reasons for that besides the delicious taste of course. These samosas are filled with perfectly seasoned ground beef, potatoes, and green peas. The crust is butter based so need I say more?
Please note that the word Punjabi here is referred to the way the samosa dough is made only!

Beef Samosa Recipe.

I didn’t use oil while making the filling because the beef had enough fat in it, but in case your ground beef doesn’t have enough fat, you can add two tablespoon oil while preparing the filling.

Ingredients

  • **For the filling:
  • 350 gm ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium potato chopped
  • ¼ cup green peas I used frozen
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder
  • **To fry the samosa:
  • Around two cups of oil.
  • **The dough:
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup warm water you may need less

Instructions

  • **Making the filling:
  • In a pan, add the ground beef and saute for few minutes or until it releases oil.
  • Now add the onion and potatoes, stir until the onion is translucent. Add all the spices and salt, saute some more on medium high heat.
  • Reduce the heat and cook until the onion turns light brown the beef is cooked.
  • Add the green peas and cook for another three minutes. Keep aside.
  • Note: No oil added to the filling since the beef had enough fat to cook everything with.
  • **Making the dough:
  • In a bowl, add all the ingredients (except water) and mix well.
  • Gradually add the water and knead until you get a smooth and not sticky dough. The dough should have a little firmness to it.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • ** Preparing the samosa:
  • Make 6 equal balls from the dough. Take one ball and roll with the rolling pin into a medium thickness circle around 6 inches. (This dough won’t need dry flour to roll).
  • Use a knife to cut the circle into halves.
  • Take one-half and fold into a cone. Seal along the fold
  • Place this cone between your thumb and index finger. Fill the cone with the filling, might take two tablespoons or little less.
  • Wet the edges of the dough with water and pinch to seal. Now you should have a triangle shaped samosa. Repeat this step with the rest of the dough and filling.
  • Cover the samosa with a cloth and keep it aside for 20 minutes.
  • In a medium pan, heat the frying oil. Add the samosas but do not crowd the pan. Fry on medium heat until the samosa is golden brown. The frying time may take from 7 to 8 minutes.

    Crunchy wrapper and savoury beef filling...they are totally irresistible. The filling can be used as the bun filling too. Well done, Muna.

    I can't believe I managed to make something like this! They were delicious. Friends and their kids loved them. The only change I made was to par boil the potato before adding it, as I'm picky when it comes to hard potatoes. Will make again. Had extra mixture left as I used more beef, had it on a wrap the next day. Yum.

    Thank you for the delicious recipe they turned out perfectly! 😍 i would like to freeze them in batches would you suggest cooking them then reheating once defrosted or freeze before cooking and then cook on a tray in oven from frozen? Maybe i will give each way a go and see what result is best 😊

      Hi Amy, Thank for your comment 🙂 . You can cook them and freeze them then reheat them in the oven, or, freeze them before frying and when defrosted fry them in hot oil!

    These were gorgeous! I also made a chicken version, using the same spices and they were so yummy. They also freeze really well, although I did cook them lightly first and the cooked them on 160 for 40 mins then turned them off with 10 mins at 220 to crisp them up. I also defrosted in the microwave, but they lose the crunchiness. Still gorgeous though!

    HI - what would you add to make these just a tad bit spicier? More chili powder?
    When I made them first time they were really good, but lacked a bit of spice and perhaps needed a bit more salt...
    Thank you

      Hi Sarah, with salt you can add it according to your taste, I sometimes add more salt when I make it for my sister 😉. You can add red chili flakes to make it spicier and it adds more flavor too!

    Oh my! I made these today after thinking about it for a long time. I doubled the recipe because I have a lot of adult sons.
    These are delicious. I served them with mango chutney I bought at a specialty market.
    Honestly, I could just eat the fried dough without any filling. The cumin seed adds so much savoury 🤗
