Biblical name for a samosa ingredient (4)

I believe the answer is:

amos

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'biblical name' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'for a samosa ingredient' is the wordplay.
'ingredient' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'ingredient of' mean this).
'AMOS' is hidden in the letters of 'for samosa'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amos that I've seen before include "Old Testament book" , "American wild dog" , "30th OT book" , "Old Testament prophet" , "Hebrew prophet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
