Beef Samosa
"These are easy a little time consuming but worth it. Make a spicy beef packet, great for potluck or finger food snack. Brought them to a get together and everyone enjoyed them told me I could make them again. This is a recipe I got from another site made a few changes to suit what I had on hand."

The filling was really good, even my 1 year old ate two big samosas himself (we like ours with ketchup). One layer of phyllo was abit flimsy, so will use two layers next time. Thanks! -
Wonderful recipe! I can't wait to make it again! -
Many moons ago (OK, decades ago :-)) I visited a friend in England and tasted my first samosa. LOVED IT. And never have managed the taste again until tonight. No sauce or dip necessary. Clearly, I haven't mastered (heck, I haven't figured out!) the triangle fold but who cares?!?! These are delicious! -
Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles! I chose this recipe for Zingo as my family love samosas. I am used to doing this all from scratch - including the pastry so this was a nice change. Just the right amount of spices to compliment each other...not too overpowering & not underwhelming either. I made double the amount & put 3/4 of them in the freezer uncooked for a family get together on Sunday. Thanks for a lovely recipe :) -
I LOVE samosas and these are great. Used ground buffalo which is extra lean and my recipe 259580 to go with them

<p>I live in Canada our winters are far to long and cold. I like to try new recipes. I don't really have a favorite cookbook. I enjoy reading fiction, my friends,good conversation,gardening,and the great outdoors. Love to travel, by plane, boat or automobile. My pet peeves are inconsiderate drivers who stop on a main road holding up traffic. <br />I'd really enjoy spending some time camping IN THE SUMMER by a beach or go the caribbean in the winter-- to the beach at one of the all inclusive clubs they always have a lot of different foods to try.. <br /><br /><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1862985&c=5589268 border=0 alt=HTML Counter /></a><a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com>Dell</a> <a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com/dell-server.htm>Server Computers</a></p>
