Chili Beef Samoosas

I made SAMOOSAS !! First time in my life, and I grew up munching away on these delectable snacks. And, really, homemade Samoosas are so much better than store bought.

Not sure about the rest of the world but here in South-Africa, any Indian shop, store or restaurant would have samoosas on their shelves and menus. (Not limited to Indian stores though!).

If not ready to eat, you can always buy them frozen to make at home. Which is fine, usually, but I now do prefer making my own from scratch.

To be honest, after the first three I wanted to give up ! I am a very impatient person and when I could not get the hang of folding the pastry immediately, my blood pressure shot up miles high!

BUT, once I got the fold right, it was easy going. Remember to brush the pastry all over with water, before you start folding.

And follow the instructions (on folding) on the pack.

Now, the next part I am typing in bold because of personal experience: – if you are used to working with chilies – skip it, otherwise please take note:

Use plastic gloves when chopping chilies !!!! If you have sensitive hands, as I do, you will get CHILI BURN.

Go on – Google it, it is true and it is so painful. Washing my hands with Lemon Juice helped a little but the next day I still had a bit of burn.

Serve on it’s own or with a sweet chili sauce – I usually make a Sweet Chili Cream Cheese or buy a ready to eat sauce/dip.

Enjoy this little hot snack and if you so wish, add some more chilies !
