Ingredients

  • 250 grams lean ground lamb
  • 1 medium, finely chopped onion
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 inch, grated ginger
  • 100 grams frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 0.5 teaspoon garam masala

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 pieces phyllo pastry sheets
  • 1 as needed cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the cumin seeds and toast for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the lean ground lamb to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and cooked through.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the lamb. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft.

Stir in the peas, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Combine everything well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Mix in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

Take one sheet of phyllo pastry and lay it on a clean surface. Lightly spray with cooking spray and fold it in half lengthwise.

Step 8

Place a tablespoon of the lamb mixture at one end of the strip. Fold the end over the filling to form a triangle.

Step 9

Continue folding in a triangle shape until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat for the remaining filling and pastry sheets.

Step 10

Arrange the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

Lightly spray the samosas with cooking spray.

Step 12

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
