Ingredients
One block haloumi cheese, shredded
1
tbsp dried mint
1
tbsp dried sumac
1
packet samboosa sheets
400
gm green lentils
2
tbsp flour mixed with water until paste consistency is achieved
Noor Oil for frying
Preparation
Introduction:
Samboosas are a sinful starter. For those watching their weight, it cannot be resisted. It is a constant on the Ramadan dining table and stuffings vary from simple cheddar cheese to exotic ‘pizza’ fillings.
Steps Involved:
Shred haloumi cheese, squeeze out any excess water.
Mix in cooked green lentils, dried mint and sumac until well incorporated. Add salt if necessary. Make a cone of each samboosa sheet. Stuff a cone with a portion of the prepared filling. Seal the edges carefully with the help of the flour-water paste.
Once done, heat Noor Oil and wait until it ‘sizzles’.
Fry until golden brown, dry on paper towel and enjoy immediately.
Suggestion:
Serve the samboosas hot with ketchup or chilly sauce.
