How to Make Beef Wonton Samosas
- Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water (about 4 cups) to a boil.
- Add 1 lb potatoes (peeled and diced) and 1 cup frozen peas.
- Cook until potatoes are tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.
- Drain well, mash together, and set aside to cool.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
- Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and 1 bay leaf; sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add 1 large onion (chopped) and 1 lb ground beef; cook until beef is evenly browned and onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cloves garlic (minced) and 1 inch ginger root (grated).
- Season with 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom.
- Stir in the mashed potato mixture. Mix well to combine.
- Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until completely cool. This step helps the filling bind and prevents soggy samosas.
- In a large bowl, gently mix in 1/2 cup chopped cilantro and 2-3 green chilies (finely chopped, adjust to taste).
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling onto each wonton wrapper (about 40-50 wrappers).
- Fold into triangles, pressing edges together firmly with moistened fingers to seal.
- Arrange samosas on the prepared baking sheet. For frying, heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C).
- **Baking:** Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. **Frying:** Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the oil is consistently at the correct temperature for even cooking.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce (e.g., tamarind chutney, mint chutney).
