ingredients

2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
3 small cloves
1 lb ground lamb or 1 lb ground beef
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon ghurum masala (add the ghurum masala after the curry is cooked by stirring it in before serving)
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
oil, if needed cooking meat filling (follows)
FOR PASTRY
2 cups unbleached flour
³⁄₄ teaspoon salt
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons oil or 1 1/2 tablespoons clarified butter
¹⁄₂ - ³⁄₄ cup water

directions

Sift flour and salt together.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and quickly pour in oil and water. Stir briskly until combined, gradually adding more water if necessary. You should aim for a slightly moist dough that sticks together.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, cover with damp towel.
To assemble samosa:
break off pieces of dough (leaving what's left under the towel and shape into balls.
Roll each ball into a circle about 1/10 of an inch thick and 5 inches across.
Cut the circle in half. In one side put filling, fold half of the half circle over to make a triangle.
Seal by brushing a bit of water along the edges and pinching it together with your finger.
Heat 2 inches oil in a skillet or pan to 375 degrees. Put in samosas and let it fry to a golden brown on each side. Then drain on cloth or paper towel and eat.
MEAT FILLING:
Crush ginger and garlic.
Combine all ingredients in a large skillet or pan and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Add a bit of oil if meat is too lean to grease the pan.
When meat is well browned, drain off any excess fat, set aside until ready to fill pastry.

My Family and I moved to South Africa at the beginning of 2007 to be missionaries. My Husband is the Pastor of a church in Eden Park, a township in the Jo'burg area. We are having a great time. My kids love it (3 of them, 1 born here). We have got to do many exciting things( pet lion cubs, feed giraffes, eat Zebra(gross!)and other meats(Warthog was surprisingly the best, go figure) and swim on a beach with penguins, to name a few). I have always loved to bake but just got into cooking since moving over here. There were a lot of things I couldn't find over here(and still can't) that we were wanting so I started searching for good recipes for everything from sausage, salad dressing and root beer,to enchilada sauce, Macayo's baja sauce(posted), and Applebees hot wings! A fellow missionary turned me on to this site and My husband got me a membership for this last birthday. I am loving it!
