(You'll want some mo') Samosas

These samosas were a big hit during our Sri Lankan supper.  They would be great as an appetizer or as the main dish served alongside a salad.  And a refreshing beverage, obviously.

Ingredients

*  8 inch flour tortillas
*  1 lb ground turkey or beef
*  2 large boiled potatoes
*  1/2 cup chopped onions
*  1/4 cup frozen peas
*  1 tsp cumin seeds
*  1 tsp coriander seeds
*  1 tsp chopped garlic
*  2 tsp chopped ginger
*  2 green chilis
*  1/2 tsp turmeric powder
*  2 tsp garam masala
*  2 tsp red chili powder
*  2 tsp lemon juice
*  2 TSP vinegar
*  2 egg whites
*  salt to taste
*  cooking oil for deep frying

Directions

1.  Heat a pan with 1 TSP oil and add the chopped onions.  When onions are light brown, add chopped ginger, green chilis and garlic.  Then add coriander, cumin seeds, turmeric powder and stir well.

2.  Add ground turkey or beef, garam masala, red chili powder, vinegar, and salt to taste.  Stir well and cook until well done.

3.  Add the green peas and stir for a while.  Meanwhile, peel and mash the potatoes and add to the filling.  Add the lemon juice, mix well and remove from heat.

4.  Cut each tortilla (circle) into two pieces and lightly dampen the edges of each semi-circle with lightly dampen the edges of each semi-circle with lightly beaten egg white.  Shape each semi-circle into a cone by pressing the cut edges together.  Place 1 1/2 TSP of filling into the cone and seal the edges well.  Repeat this with the rest of the tortillas.

5.  Deep fry in medium hot oil about 2 at a time until crisp (generally about 20 seconds on each side) and golden brown.  Remove onto a paper towel.

---These can be made ahead of time, without frying, and kept frozen.  When ready to make them, take them out of the freezer and deep fry them immediately.---

ENJOY!
