  4. Garlic: 4 Cloves
  5. Ginger: 1″, Peeled and finely chopped
  6. Tumeric powder: 1 teaspoon

  15. Lemon Juice: 1 Tablespoon
  16. Puff Pastry Sheets
  17. Tamarind Chutney

Method:

Heat oil in a pan. When hot, add onions. Sautee till onions are brown, then add garlic and fry. Add mince. Continue stirring till lamb is brown, add all ingredients from 4 to 11. Sautee another two minutes. Add water. Bring it to a boil. Add peas and potatoes and stir. Turn down heat and simmer 20 minutes covered or till done. Cook till all the water dries up. Mix well cook another two minute. Shut off heat. Stir in lime juice and keep it to cool.

Make small balls from the puff pastry, roll into thin round shape. Cut into two halves with a knife to make semicircles. Moisten the straight edge with little warm water. Fold the semicircle of the pastry in half to form a triangular cone. Join the straight edges by pressing them hard into each other. Fill these cones with the prepared filling, leaving some space on the top of the cone. Now moisten the top edges with water and press them hard together. Deep fry the samosas until they are golden brown. Serve hot with tamarind chutney.
