1 (small dice, boiled)
yellow onion
1/2 cup (chopped)
frozen mixed peas and carrots
1 cup (frozen)
turmeric
1/2 teaspoon (ground)
chili powder

water
1/4 cup
puff pastry
1 sheet (thawed)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a large pan, brown the extra-lean ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until it is nicely browned.
3
Add the chopped yellow onion and the frozen peas and carrots to the pan, cooking for about 3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
4
Stir in the boiled diced potato, followed by the turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well.
5
Pour 1/4 cup of water into the mixture and stir. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the water has mostly evaporated, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove the pan from heat once the filling is ready.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into an 18" x 12" rectangle. Cut the pastry into 8 even rectangles.
7
Place 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each pastry rectangle.
8
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle shape, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and ensure they are well sealed.
9
Brush each samosa with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while baking. Optionally, sprinkle with kosher salt for added flavor.
10
Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper. Arrange the filled samosas on the prepared baking sheet.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and flaky.
12
Serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauces or chutneys. Enjoy!
