Ingredients

For 4 people:

• 1 teaspoon of curry powder
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce

2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute to release the aromas.
3. Incorporate the ground beef into the skillet and cook until it is nicely browned.
4. Add the cumin, curry, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. On a sheet of brick pastry, place a spoonful of the beef mixture and fold it into a triangle, sealing the filling well. Repeat the process for the other sheets.

Chef's Tips

For an even tastier touch, you can add peas or diced potatoes to the filling. Also, consider serving your samosas with a mint sauce or chutney, which will bring a refreshing contrast.

Storage

Samosas can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them before cooking. To reheat, place them in the oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness.
