Yield 16 samosas

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium onion, minced
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 lb ground sirloin
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup water
1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped
1/3 cup golden raisin, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped of fresh mint
1 (17 1/3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed for 30 minutes (2 sheets)
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

In a big nonstick skillet, saute onion, bell pepper, ground beef, curry powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in olive oil until lightly browned.
Add in water; simmer, covered, until meat is cooked through.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Fold in the chopped boiled egg, raisins, and mint.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Roll out 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to 14x10 inch rectangle.
Cut pastry with either a fluted dough press or cookie cutter to make eight 3 ½ inch circles.
Repeat with second sheet of puff pastry.
While holding 1 circle at a time in your hand, spoon 1 teaspoon of meat mixture into the middle.
Fold pastry in half and secure the circle by pressing the edges together with a fork to make a seal.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Place samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; brush the tops with egg.
Bake for about 20-22 minutes or until pastry is well puffed and golden.
Remove from oven, let cool, then serve.
