Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
1 leek, chopped
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
2 pounds ground beef
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon pepper
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
-
1 (14 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
-
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, leek, and garlic in hot oil until onion is transparent. Add ground beef; cook and stir until still slightly pink and about halfway done. Season with cumin, cardamom, salt, and pepper; mix well. Continue cooking until beef is browned and crumbly. Remove the skillet from heat.
-
Mix together flour and water in a small bowl to make a thin paste. Using one wrapper at a time, fold into the shape of a cone. Fill cone with beef mixture, close the top, and seal with paste. Repeat until wrappers or filling are used up.
-
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (170 degrees C). There should be enough oil to submerge sambusas. Fry sambusas, a few at a time, in hot oil until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Recipe Tip
You can substitute shredded beef for the ground beef if you like.
