Somali Sambuus With BizBaz Sauce By My Vintage Cooking


Somali sambuus is a salty triangular deep-fried pastry with a multitude of fillings. A variation of samosa from the Horn of Africa. I learned that sambusa is a popular appetizer and enjoyed especially at evening meals during Ramadan. Sambusa recipes are also found in Ethiopia and Kenya
