Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
½ lb. lean ground beef
½ c. water
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ginger paste
½ tsp. garlic paste
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
½ tsp. cumin powder
¼ tsp. chili powder
¾ c. onion chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro chopped
¼ tsp. garam masala
Canola oil
Directions:
Directions:
Boil the ground beef in water on medium heat until browned breaking up any lumps, then strain and discard water.
Place back on stove on medium heat and add the salt, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, cumin powder and chili powder.
Cook until all the water has evaporated and the mixture is dry.
Set aside and let cool.
After meat has cooled slightly add the onion, cilantro and garam masala.
Fill a small pot about half full of canola oil and heat oil on low.
While oil is heating, prepare a paste of flour and water it should be a thick but moist consistency. The paste will be used to glue the samosas seams closed.
Remove the frozen samosa pastry wrappers from package and heat in microwave for a minute and a half.
Wrap samosas.
Once the samosas are ready to fry, increase heat to med-low and fry slowly (10-15 mins) until a nice golden brown. If the wrappers start to blister, the oil is too hot.
Drain oil off.
Serve with tamarind chutney or lemon wedges.

Personal Notes:
This is one of the recipes that Mike and I were taught in Ruby's cooking classes. This was one of the more challenging recipes that we learned. The cooking is simple but wrapping and gluing the samosas took a bit of practice to get the hang of.
It may help anybody who has not wrapped samosas before to maybe look online for an instructional video.
With the wrappers, they can be found at East Indian markets. If they are to dry they will just crack and cannot be used. Handle them with care and have fun practicing!
