Samosas are a deep-fried South Asian pastry with a savory filling commonly made with vegetables, spiced potatoes, onions, peas, and/or meat. While most of South India is vegetarian, our recipe marries vegetarian values and ingredients with the rising demand for meat. Impossible Samosas features savory and delicious Impossible™ Ground Beef Meat From Plants, which gives our samosa a meaty bite.

Our samosas are spiced with curry, and complemented with sweet peas which balance out the savoriness from the Impossible Beef. The delectable filling is then deep fried in samosa dough, creating a flaky almost buttery crust. Your samosas aren't complete without the spicy mint cilantro sauce. Your guests will be so impressed by your culinary chops and use of spices after trying these!

How to prepare

Step 1: Make the Samosa Dough

Combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder and whisk together in a large bowl. Add the oil, then gradually add the water with one hand while mixing ingredients with the other hand. The dough should be smooth and not very sticky. If needed, use more water or flour for desired dough consistency. Place a towel over the dough and allow it to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Samosa Filling

Mince ginger, garlic, and scallions. Cook in a large saucepan over low heat until soft. Increase temperature to medium-high and add crumble Impossible Beef into the pan. Saute mixture, stirring, until cooked through. Add curry powder and frozen peas. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove pan from heat and season with the juice of 1 lime and salt to taste. Place mixture in a bowl in the fridge to cool. Remove from fridge and add 3 tablespoons of the chopped cilantro (use some from the bunch for the sauce). Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Make the Spicy Mint Cilantro Sauce

Place remaining cilantro, mint leaves, garlic, agave, sambal paste, and the juice of two limes in a food processor. Pulse until smooth. This sauce is best used fresh!

Step 4: Cut the Samosa Wrappers

Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle, about 1/16th of an inch thick. The more perfect the circle is, the easier it will be to fill. In a skillet over medium heat, toast one side of each dough circle. Once cooled, cut the circles in half to achieve 16 semicircles.

Step 5: Fill the Samosa

With each semicircle, fold the cut, flat edge together and seal with the additional water to make a conical shape with the dough. Fill each cone with approximately 1 tablespoon of filling. Seal the open edge with water and fold up like an envelope.

Step 6: Fry the Samosa

Fry each samosa in oil at 350°F, turning occasionally, until the samosa is golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a towel-lined platter. Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes and serve with Spicy Mint Cilantro Sauce.
