AminaTammy Posted June 26, 2009 Assalamu ALaikum My neighbor taught me how to make sambusa from scratch. I find it very difficult to make and very time consuming. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Sambusa Wrappers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephissa Posted June 26, 2009 Wa Alaikuma Salaam, I have never made it from scratch. I always get egg-roll wrap from the halal store to wrap my sambusa. Tastes just as good as anything you could make from scratch... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cara. Posted June 26, 2009 ^No it doesn't, but we can pretend Amina, try Nephissa's suggestion, that's what most people do nowadays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB Posted June 26, 2009 Salam Aleikum W.W I love Sambusa and always have as long as I can remember especially at Ramadan where it's a MUST in my house...I buy a ready made one from the local grocery store and BAM a friend does the rest...I know I know I know...but I don't know how to cook and I find myself promising myself to buy cooking books and stuff but as soon as the next day breaks all is fogotten. Aamina your topics has been a massive help to clans of batchelors here in SOL and I am one of them and I thank you for your help but in case if things go wrong and I manage to burn the house down...I will give the cops your details and say she told me that I could cook... Once again Thanks a millions indeed sister-in-law and keep up the good work and I wish you all the best Insha Allah. Salam Aleikum W.W Peace, Love & Unity.

AminaTammy Posted June 26, 2009 Masha'Allah thank you for the kind words. I am very enthusiastic the first week of Ramadan. I like making it special for my husband and the kids. But after a week, I use the store bought wraps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tastes just as good as anything you could make from scratch... Egg-roll wrap? You Kung Pao chicken eating maryooley. Amina/Tammy, try tortilla (wheat or white) but not the frozen type. While it's soft, spread it like you're making a quesadilla and cut into 4 quarters. It makes a thicker than usual pocket but it will soak much less oil. And use some good quality tortilla and preferably olive oil. I'm an expert on these things. I've watched my wife make them for years while I veg on the couch. Let me know how it works.

AminaTammy Posted June 27, 2009 Another neighbor showed me how to use tortilla wrappers as well. Very nice and easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
