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.
