    wa alaikum salam
    Sorry I just saw your post.

    1. Tandoori paste can be found at Indian stores or in the international section at your local supermarket. You can also make the paste by adding oil to tandoori powder.

    2. Plain yogurt is from a supermarket.

    3. Cilantro should be in the herb section of your grocery store.

    By the way, which city are you in?

    Asalam Alaykum sister and ramadan kareem. My husband recently found you on youtube and boy was he excited. He is from Somali and I am Lebanese and we have no family here in AZ at all, so for the last 9 years I have struggled in the kitchen. I have to say we have tried your dishes and they are perfect. I love the fact that u tell us how much seasoning to use. I could not have gotten the recipe right without it. The kids also love it. I tried to make Quraa twice and the first time i believe i had the oil to high cause they didn't cook all the way through so the 2nd attempt was on medium and i guess i overcooked them because they seem kind of hard. Please tell me what to do to get them just right. I love this dessert. Also do u have the recipe for Somali rice with tomato potato and onion garnish baked chicken. Thank you sister. ASW Janan

I would first like to thank my wonderful neighbor Marium for showing me how to make this. Masha'Allah, she is such an expert that she is able to make 2 stacks of eight instead of 8 stacks of 2. This delicious Ramadan favorite comes out nice and flaky. Wrappers can be made in advance and frozen. Makes 32 large sambusa/samosa 5 cups flour + extra for rolling 2 ts. salt 1/2 cup oil + extra for rolling 2 cups water oil for frying 1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. 2. Knead until a smooth dough is formed. 3. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. 4. Knead for 2 minutes and then divide the dough into 16 pieces. 5. Press down each piece to form a 3 inch circle. 6. Coat the top with oil and sprinkle with flour. 7. Make 8 stacks with 2 in each stack. 8. Press down to try to keep them equal in size. 9.
