Ingredients

• 1 cup fine bulgur
• 1 cup semolina
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup crushed walnuts
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• Vegetable oil for frying

Method

1. Soak fine bulgur and semolina in a bowl with warm water and let swell for 15 minutes.
2. Add egg, flour, and salt to the mixture and knead until it reaches a paste consistency.
3. In a separate bowl, mix crushed walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and allspice for the filling.
4. Take walnut-sized pieces of the dough, hollow them out with your thumb.
5. Stuff with the walnut mixture and shape into oval forms, sealing tightly.
6. Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden brown and drain excess oil.

Dipping your hands in cold water occasionally while kneading makes shaping much easier.
