Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
This recipe is for Lamb Mince Samosa Filling. I made these before Ramadan last year - yes, that is how behind I am on posting recipes! Anyway, before Ramadan, most of the families I know have a few days where they prepare and freeze a tonne of samosas, spring rolls and other such goodies. This they do so they can have more time to spend in prayer and worship during Ramadan, and also in case any unexpected guests pop in.
This lamb filling tastes really fresh and vibrant, and can be used in pastries, on pizza, in spring rolls - anywhere really!
This samosa filling will fill approximately 40 samosas, inshallah.

Bismillah, let us begin!
Heat a good splash of Vegetable Oil in a wok or large saucepan.

Next, take 3 Onions which have been peeled and finely chopped.
Add 3/4 of the onion to the pan.
Next, take 2 tablespoons of Crushed Ginger and 2 tablespoons Crushed Garlic. I used frozen but fresh is much better.
Add them to the pan.
Stir fry until light brown.
Then, add 2 kilos of Lamb Mince.
Fry until brown.
Next, take:
2 teaspoons Red Chilli Powder
2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
Add them to the pan.
Mix well.
Next, take the juice of 3 Lemons.
Add it to the pan, along with 1 cup of Water.
Bring
to the boil and simmer until the water has completely dried out – approximately
40 minutes.
Stir now and again to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Then, take a few handfuls of Frozen Peas.
Add them to the pan.
Along with a handful of chopped fresh coriander.
The rest of the chopped onions
And, 8 Green Chillies, finely chopped.
Mix well, and heat through for one minute until the peas are cooked. Cool the mixture completely before using to fill samosas.

Wasalaam!
Hi my neighbors are Pakistani and every once in a while they send over these patties with potatoes on the bottom and they call them kebabs does anyone know how to make them or a good video recipe online
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure - do let us know if you find out though :)
DeleteSalaam sister sorry if the question sounds daft do you have to wash the mince as it contains blood in it so wouldn't the mix to the samosas taste bloody ?
DeleteWasalaam! We just give our lamb mince a quick rinse and then drain it well and use straight away, cooking on a high heat so any blood cooks off. If any blood does come out, it's a good sign that the meat is fresh. Hope that helps! :)
DeleteHi, can I use filo pastry fit your mince lamb samosa recipe?
DeleteI've made your pakora recipe and the lamb curry is my husbands favourite. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful delicious recipes.
Yes, filo pastry will work well too.
DeleteSalaam, any chance you could give the recipe for a vegetable (potato & peas) samosa filling?
ReplyDeleteAssalamu alaikum .. Yes I shall post it soon inshallah
DeleteThis sounds so tasty! I'm going to try it tomorrow (will be my first attempt at folding Samosas - don't suppose you have any tips?)
ReplyDeleteWell I made them. The pastry folding was easy in the end (posted pics on my G+). Very tasty, another great recipe!

ReplyDeleteHow many samosas can be made with 1kg mince..
ReplyDeleteIt really depends on how big you make the samosas and how much filling you put in each one. I would say maybe 30-40 but again it depends.
DeleteHave you got a recipe for the samosa pastry? This filling looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes, check my recipe for Mini Pakistani Lamb Samosas - the pastry recipe is there.
