🌟 PREPARATIONS

FILLING:

◾️Wash and peel the Irish potatoes and carrots. Dice into tiny bits, add green peas. Add a little salt and cook for about 5 minutes. Take off the heat once it get soft and set aside.

◾️Slice onions in circles. Set aside.

◾️Heat up vegetable oil in a small pot, add the onions, curry and garlic powder, and stir for a few seconds.

◾️Add the minced meat and stir-fry until it turns to a pale colour.

◾️Add stock cubes, pepper and salt to taste.

◾️Add the cooked vegetables and mix together on medium head for about 3 minutes.

DOUGH:

◾️Pour flour into a medium mixing bowl.

◾️Add warm water, salt and vegetable oil.

◾️Mix until you have a smooth, stretchy dough.

◾️Cover mixture with an airtight plastic wrap and leave to breathe for 15 minutes, then knead the dough to make it more stretchy.

◾️Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2-3mm.

◾️Cut the dough in circles. You can use the tip of a round glass bowl if you do not have a circular dough cutter.

◾️Cut those circles in two equal halves.

◾️Smudge water on the straight part of the semi-circular dough. Don’t close it yet.

◾️Put a spoonful of the filling into the dough.

◾️Repeat until all the dough is finished.

◾️Heat up vegetable oil in medium heat.

(Make sure the oil is not too hot for it.)

◾️Fry until the colour changes to light brown.
