Description
A quick and easy one-pot meal perfect for busy family nights, featuring delicious dumplings filled with ground beef and served in yogurt sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups yogurt
- 1 cup water or broth
- 1 clove garlic, minced or sliced (for topping)
- Adha (optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until smooth. Knead for about 5 minutes until you have a soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic for the last minute. Add ground beef, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface, cut into 4-5 inch circles. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each, fold over, and crimp edges to seal.
- In a large pot, combine yogurt, water (or broth), and salt. Heat until simmering. Carefully add dumplings and cook until they float, about 10-15 minutes.
- Sauté additional minced garlic in oil until golden, then pour over the dumplings. Sprinkle with adha if using.
Notes
Serve with warm pita bread or a fresh salad. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
