    I think it is fun way of making sambusa, it is easier to reheat the next day, if you have some left overs.

    Looks amazing!! I hate fried sambusa so I am gonna try n make this InshaAllah…my concern is I am afraid the dough will be all dried up n crunchy ..will adding butter to the dough and/glazing it with it help?

    this one wont be too crunchy maybe the top bit but inside is nice and soft, using egg wash will give nice color after they are baked. Try it you will love it Insha Allah.
