1
In a big nonstick skillet, saute onion, bell pepper, ground beef, curry powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in olive oil until lightly browned.
2
Add in water; simmer, covered, until meat is cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.
3
Fold in the chopped boiled egg, raisins, and mint. Preheat oven to 375°. Roll out 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to 14x10 inch rectangle.
4
Cut pastry with either a fluted dough press or cookie cutter to make eight 3 ½ inch circles.
5
Repeat with second sheet of puff pastry. While holding 1 circle at a time in your hand, spoon 1 teaspoon of meat mixture into the middle.
6
Fold pastry in half and secure the circle by pressing the edges together with a fork to make a seal.
7
Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; brush the tops with egg.
8
Bake for about 20-22 minutes or until pastry is well puffed and golden. Remove from oven, let cool, then serve.
