AMETHA PUDEENA SAMOSA / BEEF AND MINT SAMOSA

AMETHA PUDEENA SAMOSA / BEEF AND MINT SAMOSAYou may hear people who have traveled to or tasted Burmese food said that Burmese cuisine is somewhat a hybrid of Indian, Chinese and Thai.

If I may put it this way, Ametha pudeena samosa or beef and mint samosa is one of the examples of the Indian-inspired dishes.

The samosa is filled with ground beef that is cooked and flavored with cumin, coriander seeds, onion, garlic and mint. I found this samosa very delicious and flavorful.

The only “complexity” (if I may say so), is in wrapping the samosa into triangle shape. But again, I didn’t find it awfully complex either. I did it, so you can too 😉

The tamarind sauce is really a wonderful complement to this beef and mint samosa. This will be a great appetizer dish. Recipe is adopted from The Food of Burma.
