Chicken Sambusa (Christian)
Hi guys, my name’s Christian, I’m originally from Congo. I moved to Canada in 2016, I joined Thirteen because I fell in love with the spices while I was volunteering there before joining the group and it was an amazing experience. I wanted to meet new people and get more experience.
I had this recipe at a family friend's house and I immediately fell in love with it so I started making it at home. The reason why I shared this recipe with the group is because it is very delicious and easy to make at home.
