30 minSamosas meet crescent rolls and the result is seriously addictive.
These little triangular pockets are stuffed with curry-spiced ground beef, tender potatoes, carrots, and peas, then baked until the crescent dough turns golden and shatteringly flaky. Dip them in the honey-lime-soy sauce and try to stop at just one.
They’re a brilliant party appetizer or game day snack that comes together in half an hour.
Variations
- Vegetarian version: Skip the beef and double the potatoes and peas, adding a squeeze of lemon to brighten the filling.
- Lamb samosas: Swap ground lamb for beef and add a pinch of garam masala for a more traditional flavor.
- Spicier kick: Increase the red pepper flakes and add a minced serrano pepper to the filling.
Kitchen Tips
- Pre-cook your potatoes and carrots before adding them to the filling. Diced small, they only need a few minutes in boiling water.
- Seal the edges firmly by pressing with a fork. If they pop open, the filling spills out during baking.
- Switch cookie sheet positions halfway through baking for even browning on both trays.
