Trying to be a tad more "diet" here by using filo pastry and the oven rather than deep fat frying them in oil.
Ingredients
1 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
250 gm minced lamb
1/2 cup hot water
1 tsp garam masala
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 tbsp coriander leaves chopped
To make the filling, heat the butter in a saucepan and fry garlic, ginger and half the onion until onion is soft. Add curry powder, salt, lemon juice, mix well. Add minced lamb and fry over a high heat, stirring constantly until meat changes colour. Turn heat down and add hot water. Cover pan and cook until meat is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
2. Towards end of cooking, stir frequently to prevent meat from sticking to base of pan. Sprinkle with garam masala and chopped mint and coriander, remove from heat and allow to cool. Mix in the reserved chopped onion.
Let mixture cool
Place 4 x filo sheets on a chopping board spraying each one with olive oil spray,cut sheets into 3 lengthways...........
Place a desertspoon of minced lamb mixture at one end.
fold the pastry diagonally enclosing the meat in a triangle.
continue to fold over twice more till samosa resembles...........
Tuck edges in and spray both sides with olive oil spray.
Heat oven to 180 degrees and cook in middle of oven for 12 to 15 minutes till samosas are golden.
Serve with homemade mango chutney ,Tomato Chutney,& Raita
Wrap in parchment paper to fridge and re heat the following day
for a snack.
Enjoy
