Recipe View 30 mins Assemble the Sambousa (30 minutes): Lay an egg roll wrapper strip on a clean work surface. Place a teaspoonful of the meat mixture in the front corner of the strip. Starting from the right front corner, fold the wrapper over to the left, creating a triangle shape. Continue folding back and forth, maintaining the triangular shape, until you reach the end of the wrapper. Seal the edge closed with the flour and water paste. Repeat this process until all of the strips and meat mixture are used.

Recipe View 15 mins Fry to Golden Perfection (15 minutes): Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the sambousa in the hot oil until they are crisp and golden brown. Remove the sambousa from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

For a richer flavor, try using ground lamb instead of beef.
Adjust the amount of chile pepper to suit your spice preference.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure crispy sambousa. If the oil is not hot enough, the sambousa will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
Sambousa can be made ahead of time and frozen before frying. Simply thaw completely before frying as directed.

    The folding technique took a little practice, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy. Will definitely make these again!
