  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

  • 1 lemon, juiced

For the Beef

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup water

For the Pizza

  • 1 lb store bought pizza dough
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
  • Fresh cilantro, mint and lemon juice to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500 with a pizza stone

For the Potatoes

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces and put into a medium pot covered by 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 5-8 minutes. Check with a knife to make sure it’s fork tender, drain and put in a bowl to cool
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat, when it’s hot add the jalapeño and garlic and cook for 1 minute
  • Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cayenne pepper  and cook for 1 minute more. Add the cooked potatoes and peas, stirring to mix and break/mash the potatoes into varied crumbly pieces. You can use a potato masher to help with this. Cook for 3 minutes. Remove the potato filling to a bowl, sprinkle on lemon juice and stir in the fresh cilantro. Season with salt and pepper

For the Beef

  • In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to caramelize, stir in garlic, garam masala and cayenne cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until it’s no longer pink and starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes
  • Add the tomato paste and water, cook for 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl to cool as you shape the pizza dough

For the Pizza

  • Divide the pizza dough into 2 even portions. Stretch each piece of dough in a circular motion, then lay them both out on a flat surface dusted with flour and roll out with a rolling pin. If you have a pizza peel, sprinkle with flour and place one stretched dough on the peel
  • Drizzle each of the pizza dough with a little olive oil and spread a layer of meat sauce onto the dough leaving a 1/2 inch border, equal parts of the mozzarella and sprinkle on some of the samosa topping
  • Transfer the pizza to the pizza stone and bake for 12-13 minutes until the crust is golden
  • Remove the pizza from the oven season with additional salt and pepper, fresh cilantro, mint and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
