Приготовление

Шаг за шагом

1
Cook the red lentils in boiling water until tender, about 10-15 minutes, then drain well and set aside.
Около 15 мин
Совет повара: Do not overcook the lentils; they should be tender but still hold their shape.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Около 1 мин
3
Add the yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Около 7 мин
4
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Около 1 мин
Совет повара: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Add the berbere spice blend, salt, and black pepper to the pan, cooking for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Около 2 мин
Совет повара: Toasting the spices enhances their flavor.
6
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cooked red lentils, mixing thoroughly to combine.
Около 1 мин
7
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and water to create a thick slurry; this will be used as a sealant.
Около 1 мин
Совет повара: The slurry should be thick enough to act as glue.
8
Take one spring roll wrapper and lay it flat on a clean surface.
9
Place a spoonful of the lentil filling near one corner of the wrapper.
Совет повара: Do not overfill to prevent bursting during frying.
10
Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides to create a triangular shape, and continue rolling tightly towards the opposite corner.
Совет повара: Aim for tight rolls to keep the filling secure.
11
Dab a little of the flour slurry on the final corner to seal the sambusa securely.
12
Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wrappers and lentil mixture.
Около 10 мин
13
Heat vegetable oil for frying in a deep pot or skillet to 175°C (350°F).
Около 5 мин
Совет повара: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.
14
Carefully place a few sambusas into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
15
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Около 6 мин
Совет повара: Turn them gently to ensure even browning.
16
Remove the fried sambusas with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Около 1 мин
17
Serve hot and enjoy!
