Delicious fried pastries filled with seasoned ground beef wrapped in crispy dough, embodying the flavors of Central Asia and Eastern Europe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 grams Plain Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 200 milliliters Water
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 medium Brown Onion, finely diced
  • 500 grams Fatty Ground Beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon White Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill
  • 500 milliliters Oil for Frying

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour and salt. Gradually add in the water while stirring to form a dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling by mixing ground beef, diced onion, black and white pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, and fresh dill. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Divide the dough into golf ball-sized pieces and roll each into a thin circle (10-12 inches).
  4. Place a spoonful of filling on one half of the dough circle. Fold over and seal the edges firmly.
  5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the Chebureki for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
