DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEEF SAMOSA AND VEGETABLE SAMOSA?
The primary distinction lies in the content; the beef samosa boasts a hearty beef filling, while its counterpart, the Vegetable samosa, showcases an assortment of vegetables within its delicate pastry. Naturally, these two samosa variations diverge significantly in terms of their unique spice and masala compositions.
WHAT KIND OF MEAT TO USE FOR BEEF SAMOSA?
Naturally, the culinary creation demands the inclusion of beef samosa, necessitating the use of finely ground beef to craft this delectable dish.
INGREDIENTS
- Ground beef- Ensure that the ground beef you utilize for this recipe is finely textured and devoid of any large, chunky pieces.
HOW TO MAKE THE FILLING FOR BEEF SAMOSA?
Add little oil let it heat up. Next add whole spices.
Next add Ginger garlic paste.
Add ground beef and make sure your ground beef is not in big chunks.
Add yogurt.
Next add salt and powdered spices.
Place a lid on, and let it cook. Let the ground beef dry up. Now your ground beef is ready.
HOW TO FOLD THE BEEF SAMOSA?
Make the all purpose flour and water mixture.
Get store-bought samosa sheets. Cut the end of the samosa sheets like this.
While folding take out keep the other sheets underneath a damp paper towel.
Take 2 sheets out. You're going to fold each samosa in two sheet for a crispier samosa.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BEEF SAMOSA?
Beef Samosas find their ideal companionship in the form of Green Chutney or the delightful Khaati Meethi Chutney.
HOW TO STORE BEEF SAMOSA?
I strongly advise storing the beef samosas in the freezer prior to frying, abstaining from the frying process at this stage. When the need arises, simply retrieve the desired quantity and execute a deep-fry. It's important to note that thawing is unnecessary prior to frying, as this could result in undesired sogginess.
Within the collection of freezer-friendly Pakistani recipes highlighted on the blog, this particular entry stands out for its exceptional adaptability to freezing. To initiate the freezing procedure, neatly arrange the samosas in a horizontal orientation within a ziplock bag, maintaining a slight ¼ to ½-inch gap between each individual piece. Seal the ziplock bag securely and lay it flat in the freezer, making certain that the samosas do not come into contact with each other. Allow them to solidify for a duration of 30 to 60 minutes. Following this initial freezing period, their positioning in the freezer can be more relaxed in terms of proximity, as they will remain separate and unsticky even when in contact.
TIPS
- Utilize a pair of 2 sheets for every individual samosa.
- Make sure all the water dries up when making the filling.
- Resort to deep frying exclusively for the samosas, refraining from the option of shallow frying.
- Avoid defrosting a frozen samosa prior to the frying process.
- Employ a moistened paper towel to cover the samosa sheets that are currently not being folded.
WHICH SAMOSA SHEETS TO USE?
Over the passage of years, my mother and I have engaged in a search for different bed sheets. Nevertheless, our pursuit reached its culmination upon encountering this specific one, owing to its remarkable flawlessness. I have included an image below to showcase the one that I wholeheartedly endorse.
