Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes, peeled
• 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
• ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 bay leaf, crushed
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 quart avocado oil for deep frying
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons chopped green chile peppers
• 1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough

Directions

1. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in potatoes and peas; cook until potatoes are tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash together, and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and bay leaf; stir until fragrant and seeds are browned. Add ground beef and onions; cook until beef is browned and crumbly and onions are soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Stir in garlic and ginger. Season with salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper. Stir in the mashed potato mixture. Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until cool.
4. Heat 1 quart of avocado oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.
5. Mix cilantro and green chile peppers into potato and beef mixture. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each phyllo sheet. Fold sheets into triangles, pressing edges together with moistened fingers.
6. Lower samosas carefully into the hot avocado oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining samosas. Serve warm.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of avocado oil used.
