Saudi Samboosak

While snooping around various sources for middle eastern recipes, i stumbled across this. i haven't made this yet but it looks yummy. please let me know! I did alter the wording of the ingredients slightly so they made more sense. Rising time is included in the prep time. cook time is only the frying time. posted for zaar world tour ii. **i looked up this recipe - it's all over the web written exactly as i have it here with no mention of salt in the ingredients & 1.5c oil. i don't remember where i copied it from. i suggest 1tsp salt. i think it's time i made this myself....happy cooking! also, wow, it was posted for zwt 2! xo bethie**
