Preparation method
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 30 mins1.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt and butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Pour in water, using more (up to approximately 60ml) if necessary to make a smooth dough. Pat into a ball. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead 10 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Return to the bowl, cover and set aside.
2.
Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan to 190 degrees C.
3.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stir in onion, garlic, green chillies and ginger. Cook 5 minutes, or until onions are golden brown. Stir in turmeric, chilli powder, lamb and salt. Cook until the lamb is evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in garam masala and lemon juice. Continue cooking 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
4.
Divide dough into 15 equal portions. Roll portions into balls, then flatten into 10cm circles. Cut each circle in half. Dampen edges and form semicircles into cones. Fill cones with equal portions of the lamb mixture. Dampen top and bottom edges of cones, and pinch to seal.
5.
Carefully lower cones into preheated oil a few at a time. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on kitchen roll. Serve warm.

Easy
A simple and excellent recipe. Easy to make and results were excellent. I increased the chilli powder to 1 teaspoon but that was a personal preference. I would recommend this recipe to all who like restaurant quality samosas
