1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, leek and garlic, and cook, until the onions are tender.

2. 2

   Add ground beef, and cook until about halfway done. Season with cumin, cardamom, salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Mix well, and continue cooking until beef has browned. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and water to make a thin paste.

4. 4

   Using one wrapper at a time, fold into the shape of a cone. Fill the cone with the meat mixture, close the top, and seal with the paste. Repeat until wraps or filling are used up.

5. 5

   Pour oil into a deep heavy pot to a depth of two to three inches. Heat to 365-375 degrees.

6. 6

   There should be enough oil to submerge the wraps. Fry the sambusas a few at a time until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve while hot.
