Today's Samosas

"Traditional Indian cuisine is very popular today - thank goodness it can also be made a lot easier today as well! Use any kind of ground meat that you like (since beef is not really traditional, but most popular in Western countries). You can even make these a day ahead and reheat them on a cookie sheet in a 300-degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until hot."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Soak the raisins in some warm water for 10 minutes, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium-sized skillet, saute the beef and onion until browned. Drain off any fat, then add the drained raisins, curry, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix well.
  • Moisten the edges of each wonton skin with the beaten egg, then spoon 1 teaspoon of the beef mixture into the center of each skin. Fold each skin in half to form a triangle and seal the edges.
  • Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick vegetable cooking spray, then place the samosas onto the cookie sheet, spraying each one to coat evenly. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the bottoms are golden and crisp.

  1. These samosas were a hit -- loved the combination of the raisins and curry in these delicious appetizers. I baked half of the recipe and plan to freeze the remaining meat mixture for a future date. I especially loved how they baked up so crispy. You do need to keep an eye on them as the edges can get a little too brown. Will definitely make them again. Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag, January, 2013.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
