    Thank you for this excellent recipe for Sambose;
    One of the points that caught my attention was that this dish seems always to have a pair and a kind of twin for itself, and that is falafel or felafel. Did you explain this recipe as well?

    Hi, thanks for your post
    This Sambose recipe seems like a great snack for a party. How long can these stay crispy after frying? Also, if I were to prepare these in advance, what’s the best way to reheat them while maintaining the crunch?

      Hello dear friend…

      It is better to eat the sambose that you take out of the hot oil right away, because if it cools down, it will lose its crispness and crunchiness over time.

      And in answer to your second question, I should say that you should prepare the sambose in advance, keep them in the freezer and fry them when needed.
