Equipment
8 oz. paper cup (240 ml)
Ingredients
Dough:
- 25 oz. flour (700 g)
- 6 tbsp. oil
- 1½ tsp. salt
- Up to 4 cups boiling water
Filling:
- 25 oz. ground beef/turkey dark meat (700 g)
- 1 large onion (grated)
- Some chopped cilantro
- Salt
- Coarse black pepper
- Dry ground cilantro
- Sudanese hot peppers – optional (for those who like spicy)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients of the filling together.
- Once the mixture is smooth and even, place it in the fridge for an hour.
- In a mixer bowl, add the flour, oil, salt, and 3 cups of water.
- Turn on the mixer and start mixing for 10 minutes. If the dough seems too dry, add more water up to 1 extra cup. The dough should not be sticky at all.
- Take the dough out of the mixer bowl and hand-knead it on the counter for 5 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 18 to 20 balls of roughly the same size.
- Roll out each ball into a flat circle. You don’t need to roll out the dough balls with flour – the dough shouldn’t be sticky in the first place.
- Place a spoonful of the filling on one half of the circle, and then fold the other half of the circle over it to cover the filling and form a crescent shape.
- Close the ends tightly and then trim with a pizza roller cutter if needed.
- Deep fry until both sides are golden brown.
