Sanbusa Turnovers
A ramadan dish popular in syria, lebanon and egypt, sanbusa traveled to india and became samosa. Sweet sanbusa halvah are special favourites at weddings in the gulf countries. This is a single recipe for dough, and various different fillings, each yielding enough to fill one batch of dough to make 36-48 pastries. I have not made these myself - i found the recipe on the internet and posted it by request.
