Sambusa

Instructions

1. 1 Make dough by mixing flour, salt, olive oil, and warm water. Knead for five minutes until smooth, then rest thirty minutes.

3. 3 Roll dough thin and cut into strips about eight centimeters wide. Place a spoonful of filling at one end.
4. 4 Fold the corner over the filling to create a triangle, then continue folding in a flag-fold pattern to seal.
5. 5 Heat vegetable oil to 175C and fry sambusas for three to four minutes, turning once, until crispy and golden.
6. 6 Drain on paper towels and serve hot with awaze sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the side.
