- 1 medium Leek(finely chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic(minced)
- 2 teaspoons Cumin(ground)
- 2 teaspoons Cardamom(ground)

👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, leek, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are softened and translucent.
- 2
Add the ground meat to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's about halfway done. Stir in the cumin, cardamom, paprika, allspice, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the meat is fully browned and any excess liquid has evaporated.
- 3
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool completely.
- 4
In a small bowl, mix the 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of water to create a thick paste. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.

Prepare the spring roll wrappers according to package directions. If using larger wrappers, cut them into smaller, manageable sizes. Take one wrapper and form it into a cone shape. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled meat filling inside the cone.
- 6
Seal the top of the cone with a little of the flour-water paste. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- 7
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 365°F (185°C). Carefully fry the sambusas in batches until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fried sambusas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Ensure the filling is completely cool before assembling the sambusas to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the frying pot; fry in batches for even cooking.
- ✓If using wonton wrappers, you may need to use two per sambusa to create a sturdier shell.
