Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
Cook the red lentils in boiling water until tender, about 10-15 minutes, then drain well and set aside.
Yaklaşık 15 dk.
Aşçının notu: Do not overcook the lentils; they should be tender but still hold their shape.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
3
Add the yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Yaklaşık 7 dk.
4
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Toasting the spices enhances their flavor.
6
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cooked red lentils, mixing thoroughly to combine.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
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.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
13
Heat vegetable oil for frying in a deep pot or skillet to 175°C (350°F).
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 6 dk.
Aşçının notu: 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.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
17
Serve hot and enjoy!
