  • 130g peas
  • 525ml sunflower oil
  • ½ tsp salt

For the filling:

  • 250g lamb mince

  • 1 tomato, diced

For the spice mix:

  • 2tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • ½ tsp turmeric

Method

  • Start by making the pastry. Combine flour, salt, oil, and most of the water in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  • Place the dough on a floured worktop and knead until soft.
  • Leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes in a bowl, covered.
  • Make a thick paste with some flour and water, put to the side.
  • Fry the onions until soft then stir in the spices, cooking for a couple minutes.
  • Add the mince and cook until browned and crumbly.
  • Stir in the tomato and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the potato and peas to the mixture then cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Leave the filling to cool.
  • Separate the dough into 6 pieces and roll into balls then flatten them into thin circles.
  • Cut the circles in half and spread some of the paste along one edge of your half circle. Fold to create a cone shape and press together.
  • Tease open the top of the cone and gently spoon in the filling. Press the edges back together. Repeat until you have 12 halal lamb samosas.
  • Heat up a new pan with 500ml of sunflower oil and fry the samosas in batches until brown and crispy.
