Kuchuk Somsa
Kuchuk Somsa are small, bite-sized savory pastries filled with a mixture of finely minced meat (typically lamb or beef), onions, and aromatic spices. They are often baked in a tandoor oven, giving them a distinct smoky flavor and a wonderfully crisp crust. These small parcels are perfect as an appetizer or a snack.

👨🍳 निर्देश

Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and mix until a cohesive dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, combine ground meat, finely chopped onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, and black pepper. Mix well.

Assemble the somsa: Divide the dough into small, equal portions (about the size of a walnut). Roll each portion thinly into a small circle. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough to create small, triangular or round shapes, sealing the edges firmly. You can also pinch the edges to create decorative patterns.

Bake the somsa: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the somsa on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. If using a tandoor, follow traditional baking methods.
