Saudi Arabian Sambusa!! boy oh boy!! talk about Delicious!! 😊😋

 Alrighty now, who loves an excellent crispy stuffed Indian Samosa? I do!!👋 Some people don't know that there are all kinds of Sambusa and it is not just an Indian dish. So today I will share mine and my dad's favorite Saudi Arabian Sambusa recipe with you. Trust me you will not regret making or eating it because it is wonderfully delicious and satisfying. My former coworkers from the Hollywood Market deli department can testify that they loved it when I made it for them one day. Are you ready to rumble???😉  Then let's begin, shall we?  

These are baked Sambosas

    

             

                                                    These Sambusas are deep fried 

 These two pictures I borrowed from google just to give you an idea of what Saudi Sambusa looks like!

      This is the Sambosa filling, that consists of cooked ground meat of your choice, chicken boullion, Vidalia onions, fresh parsley, cumin, fresh dill, hard-boiled eggs, and a little bit of black pepper. 

                  This is the Sambosa dough that you can buy from the Middle Eastern grocery stores 

                                       If you choose to bake them, brush each with egg yolk
