👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and 2 tbsp oil, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- 2
Prepare the filling: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add ground chicken to the pan. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- 4
Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until spices are fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro. Let the filling cool completely.
- 5
Assemble the muttabaq: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion very thinly into a large circle or rectangle.
- 6
Place a portion of the cooled chicken filling onto one half of the dough, leaving a border. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, creating a sealed pocket. Trim any excess dough if necessary.

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the folded muttabaq onto the hot surface. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Brush with beaten egg during the last few minutes of cooking for extra color, if desired.

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Slice the muttabaq into wedges and serve hot.
