Sambuusa
A Somali variation of the samosa — a triangular fried pastry filled with spiced ground meat, onions, garlic, green peppers, and traditional spices; or with lentils or vegetables; a staple at Ramadan iftar and a common street snack; crisp on the outside with a well-seasoned filling; stands apart from other samosas thanks to its own mix of Somali seasonings; served alongside bur (flour dough).
