Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup lukewarm water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 250 grams ground beef
• 1 medium onion (grated)
• Half tea glass of water (for filling)
• Salt and black pepper
• Abundant vegetable oil for frying

Method

1. Knead flour, lukewarm water, salt, and vinegar into a firm dough and rest for 20 minutes.
2. Mix grated onion, ground beef, salt, pepper, and water in a bowl to get a smooth filling.
3. Divide the rested dough into walnut-sized balls and roll them out thinly.
4. Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture on one half of the dough and fold the other half over to form a half-moon.
5. Seal the edges tightly using a pastry wheel or plate.
6. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides and serve hot.

Adding vinegar to the dough prevents it from absorbing excess oil and makes it crispier.
