Ingredients

Method

1
Dice the potatoes into small ¼-inch cubes and set aside.
2
Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and add the chopped onion, cooking until softened, about 2 minutes.
2 minutes
3
Add the lamb or beef to the pan and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. If using peas, skip this step and proceed with the vegetables.
10 minutes
4
Stir in the diced potatoes, curry powder, cinnamon, cilantro, and salt, mixing well to combine all spices evenly with the meat and vegetables.
2 minutes
5
Cook the filling mixture uncovered over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
10 minutes
6
Remove the filling from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature so it is easier to handle when filling the wrappers.
7
Place approximately 1-2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper, then fold the wrapper into a triangle by bringing one corner to meet the opposite corner, pressing edges gently to seal.
8
Heat oil in a deep pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
9
Working in batches to avoid crowding, carefully place the samboosa into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes total.
4 minutes
10
Remove the fried samboosa with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
11
Serve the samboosa warm, optionally accompanied by yogurt, tamarind sauce, or a simple chile dipping sauce.
