Ingredients

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1 medium (peeled and diced) sweet potato
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 1 egg
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, roughly 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add sweet potatoes, coriander, cumin, garam masala, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper to the lamb mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 10 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Step 4

Set the mixture aside to cool slightly while preparing the dough.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

In a bowl, combine coconut flour and tapioca flour. Make a well in the center and add the egg, followed by 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and water. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a small circle about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin or your hands.

Step 8

Place a heaping tablespoon of the lamb filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling into a half-moon or triangular shape and press the edges to seal.

Step 9

Place the samosas onto the prepared baking sheet and brush lightly with remaining coconut oil.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown.

Step 11

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
