Lamb, pine nut and raisin samosas
Middle Eastern 20 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- In a large pan over a high heat, fry the lamb mince for approx. 5 minutes, until browned.
- Mince the garlic. Finely grate the ginger. Add the garlic, ginger, biryani spice mix and salt to the pan. Cover and cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the moisture has been absorbed.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into ½cm cubes.
- Add the potatoes, pine nuts and raisins to the mixture. Cook for a further 10 minutes over a low heat until the potatoes are cooked through. If the potatoes start to stick to the pan, add a splash of water. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Chop the coriander and stir it into the mince mixture. You can refrigerate the mixture for a day or two until you’re ready to make the samosas.
- To assemble the samosas, cut the spring roll pastry in half diagonally to form triangles. Add a portion of the lamb mixture to the centre of each triangle. Brush the edges with a little beaten egg. Fold the flat edges over the filling to create triangular shapes and press the rounded ends together firmly.
- Heat approx. 1cm of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat.
- Shallow fry the samosas in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through. Drain on kitchen paper towels.
- Serve while hot.
