If you ask my mother, she'll be glad to tell you how to make her favorite food. In the kitchen, gather beef, potatoes, water, oat or wheat flour, fat, salt, a lot of onion, pepper, seeds with five flavors (which is called "sisandare"(?) in the market), and a sauce, like catsup. Chop the beef, onion, potatoes into a bowl. Now mix the water, fat, salt, pepper, "sisandare", and sauce. Make a dough and wrap a chunk of the filling in it. Put it through a strainer and fry it in oil. |
