Stir in ground beef, coriander, cumin, cardamom, and black pepper; cook until meat is browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley; let filling cool.

Divide rested dough into small balls; roll each into thin circles.

Place a spoonful of filling on one half of each circle; fold over and seal edges with water.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat; fry sambusas until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
