👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Prepare the filling: Sauté the finely chopped onion in 1 tbsp olive oil until softened. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Stir in allspice, cinnamon, 0.5 tsp salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

   Assemble the dumplings: Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion thinly and cut into small squares or circles. Place a small amount of the meat filling in the center of each dough piece. Fold and seal the edges to form small, sealed dumplings. You can create various shapes like half-moons or small parcels.

   Prepare the yogurt sauce: In a large pot, whisk together the yogurt, cornstarch (or flour), and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and just begins to simmer. Be careful not to boil vigorously, as it can cause the yogurt to curdle. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
