Ingredients

cooking spray
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup petite-cut potato
1 small onion, minced
½ pound ground beef
2 ½ tablespoons curry powder
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup chicken stock
1 cup peas
1 (15 ounce) package prepared pie crusts, at room temperature and each cut into quarters
1 egg
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon curry powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute potato and onion in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Break beef into small pieces and add to the skillet; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Season beef mixture with 2 1/2 tablespoons curry powder, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
Pour chicken stock over the beef mixture; add peas and stir. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the stock is nearly evaporated and the potatoes are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Moisten edges of each pie crust triangle with wet fingers. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture into the middle of each dough piece. Fold dough over the filling into a triangle; crimp edges together with a fork to seal beef inside the triangle. Arrange samosas onto the prepared baking sheet.
Beat egg with turmeric and 1/4 teaspoon curry powder in a bowl; brush over the samosas.
Bake samosas in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
