Samosas are a firm favourite of mine !
These crispy crunchy fried snacks can be filled with any (dry-ish) filling, my personal preference is this spicy cooked mince meat.

Saute the onions, chilies and garlic in a deep pan till they are browned.
Add the cooked mince to this and set the heat to medium.
Add the spices and the cashews. Mix well.
Next, squeeze the juice of 1 large lemon to this.
Depending on the consistency of the miced meat, add the breadcrumbs. Mix well.
Transfer to a bowl and keep aside.
Mix the flour and salt, then knead with the water into a somewhat
hard/firm dough. I don't put oil in this dough....try and knead it as much as
possible, but make sure it's a harder dough than the usual soft/sticky dough
which you would do for chapatis/rotis.
Leave the dough covered for about
15 mins, then divide into 8 equal sized balls.
Roll each ball out thin.
Fill and fold the Samosas with the minced meat filling.
Heat oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Slide the samosas gently into the oil and fry on each side until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
Drain on paper towel-lined plate and serve.
