Qottab, is the last variation of the ancient Persian dish item, "sanbosag" that has come to be known as sambusa in the Indian Subcontinent and beyond. At home in Iran, however, qottab--a confection, is all the remains after the 16th century, that is, except for the region of Laristan and the Persian Gulf coast where sanbosag in its original form of a dish item, is being made.
