SAMOSA WRAPPING RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large skillet add 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds stirring constantly. Add potatoes, onion and carrots and cook for 10 minutes, stirring as needed.
• Add 1 cup vegetable broth, sun-dried tomato, jalapeno, peas, salt, seasonings and lemon juice.
• Cover and let simmer until all liquid has been absorbed. Use a potato masher to mash your potato mixture somewhat. Leave some chunks.
• Divide mixture into 4 parts and put each part on each of the 4 tortillas. Roll by bringing in the sides of the tortilla and rolling. Warm if needed before serving. Slice in half and serve with spinach salad and orange slices.
• Whole Wheat Tortillas.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Work in Earth Balance Butter with a hand pastry blender.
• Slowly add warm coconut milk. Stir until a loose, sticky ball is formed.
• Knead for two minutes on a floured surface. Dough should be firm and soft. Place dough in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth for 30 minutes. This stage is very important.
• After the dough has rested, divide into 4 equal parts. Make each section into a ball and roll out to about a 10" - 12" circle.
• Heat griddle to high. Add first tortilla. Flip after a minute. Push tortilla down with spatula to produce air pockets. Keep moving spatula around the tortilla to produce more air pockets. Flip tortilla and continue with process until tortilla is lightly browned in a few areas of tortilla. If desired you can brush tortilla lightly with Earth Balance Butter on one side.
• Store tortillas under damp cloth until ready for use.

Steps:

• For the meat filling:
• 1.    Put the ground beef in a colander and remove any visible blood from the exterior of the meat by rinsing it briefly under cold running water (removing visible blood helps achieve a fine crumbled texture and a more enjoyable samosa filling).
• 2.    Heat a large fry pan on medium heat and add the ground beef with the 4 tablespoons of water.
• 3.    Stir continuously, breaking up the meat, until evenly browned and finely crumbled. 
• 4.    Drain the meat and return to the pan with the first ½ cup of yellow onion and the salt, ginger, garlic and chilli pastes, lemon juice, turmeric, cumin, and Indian chilli powder. Stir until the meat is coated and dry.  
• 5.    Cool the mixture completely and add the remaining yellow onions, green onions, coriander leaves and Garam Masala. Tip: It is important to wait until the meat mix is cool so that it does not pull the water out of the onion and coriander.   
• 6.    Adjust the salt and, if desired, add the optional jalapeño. Keep in mind that the pastry wrappers tone down the overall spiciness of the meat mixture.
