In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Add 3 teaspoons of vegetable oil and more than 1/3 cup of water gradually until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2 minutes, then place it in a pot to rest.

In a pan over medium heat, add 100 grams of minced meat and cook until browned.

Add 1 cup of finely chopped onions, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of turmeric; cook for 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in 1 cup of chopped green onions and 1 cup of chopped parsley; let cool.

Roll out the dough using a rolling machine or rolling pin until thin.

Use a samosa cutter or a cup to cut circles from the dough.

Fill the circles with the meat mixture and press to seal.

Heat oil in a pan until very hot and fry the sambusa until golden-brown.
