[www.keralites.net] Ramadhan Recipe:7 Beef Samosas

Beef Samosas

"Beef and potatoes are the main ingredients folded inside these wonderful deep fried samosas. Chicken livers may be substituted for beef, if you choose.

Here are two recipes for the beef samosas. The first one is a pretty basic one while the second one has a lot more ingredients and the potato is done differently. The recipes are blend of Indian and Arabic so it makes for some interesting tastes. The first recipe is a family recipe � been using the same recipe since my grandparents time while the second one I just started making about six years ago.

Old time Beef Samosa

½ kg minced beef
1 tbsp Ginger garlic paste
1 ½ tbsp black pepper
2 tbsp cumin powder
Salt
2 large white onions (diced)
½ cup scallions (chopped)
½ cups mint leaves (chopped)
½ cups coriander leaves (chopped)
2 small potatoes (diced)
Ghee or clarified butter for frying
Samosa/spring roll skin
Flour
Water

Directions:

In a pot, boil the beef together with the ginger garlic paste, black pepper salt & cumin powder until the meat is cooked and all the flavors infused. This takes about 30mins
Half way through the boiling process add in the potatoes.
In a frying pan, heat the clarified butter and fry the beef & potatoes. Add in the onions and keep stirring and stirring. Adjust the salt and add the scallions, mint and coriander leave. Mix all the ingredients well for about 5 mins.
Remove from heat cool and fill the spring roll skin. We use a teaspoon usually about 2 to fill up the pastry or 2 ½ tsp. The method on filling and folding a samosa can be found at the previous blog entry.
After filling the samosas fry them in very hot oil, keep the flame at medium. Fry till they are golden brown on both sides.

Iffa's Samosas

½ kilo minced beef.

2 white onions (diced)

1 medium tomato (diced)

2 medium potatoes (boiled, skinned & diced)

½ cup coriander leaves (chopped)

½ cup mint leaves (chopped)

Spices

1 ½ tbsp ginger garlic paste

1 tsp black pepper

½ tbsp curry powder

½ tbsp coriander powder

½ tbsp garam masala powder

½ tbsp chili powder

1 tbsp cumin powder

Ghee for frying.

Directions:
1. Boil the potatoes till its three quarters done and then roughly chop it into bite size pieces.
2. Mix the meat with the ginger garlic paste, black pepper, cumin & curry Powder and boil for about 30mins or until the water completely dries up and all the flavors infused.
3. In a frying pan heat up the ghee and add in the meat followed by all the other spices. Mix it well then add the onions fry till the onions are transparent.
4. Next add in the potato and tomato. Keep frying for another 2 mins or so. Addsalt to taste followed by the mint and corianderleaves fry for another 2 minsand remove from heat.
5. Put the mixture in an oil drainer so that the access oil can drip out. Once the mixture is cooled,
The beef & potato filling should look a little like this.

6. As with the previous recipe, deep fry the samosas in hot oil, on medium heat until its golden brown on both sides. The fried samosas will look something like this .

For both the recipes, feel free to adjust the amount of spices used for this dish. If you like it much spicier, add in more black pepper or chili powder in the case of the second recipe. You can use extra mint if you like a more minty taste. At the end of it the taste of the samosas filling is entirely up to your taste buds.

If you are health conscious, you could substitute the ghee or clarified butter with olive oil. The ghee actually enhances the taste of the samosas even more. These samosas can be kept in the freeze for about six months. Have fun trying everyone! Hope you'll like it � a family recipe from my kitchen to yours ..

[www.keralites.net] "Ten Principles for a Blessed Day!"

"Ten Principles for a Blessed Day!"

1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK . . .
If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind, I will not respond in a like manner.

2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY 'ENEMY'
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand "enemy" could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker or stranger.

3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY . . .
I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip.

4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE . . .
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.

5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE . . .
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.

6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING KIND FOR SOMEONE, (BUT I WILL DO IT IN SECRET . . . )
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.

7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED . . .
I will practice the golden rule. "Do Unto others as I would have them do unto me"- with EVERYONE I encounter.

8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE WHO IS DISCOURAGED . . .
My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.

9. TODAY I WILL NURTURE MY BODY . . .
I will eat less . . . I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body.

10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY . . .
I will spend a little more time in prayer today. I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational; I will find a quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to God's voice.

Luke 10:27: He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

We learn three principles about loving our neighbor: (1) lack of love is often easy to justify, even though it is never right; (2) our neighbor is anyone of any race, creed, or social background who is in need; and (3) love means acting to meet the person's needs. Wherever you live, there are needy people close by. There is no good reason for refusing to help.
Remember, today is a gift from God so treat it preciously.
