Chudu

// Ingredients

• Plain flour — 400 g
• Water — 200 ml
• Vegetable oil — 2 tbsp
• Salt — 1 tsp
• Minced lamb or beef — 400 g
• Onion — 1
• Salt, black pepper
• Butter — 80 g

// Method

1. 01Knead a firm, elastic dough from the flour, water, oil and salt. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
2. 02Mix the mince with the finely chopped onion, salt and pepper. Add 2–3 tablespoons of water to keep it juicy.
3. 03Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll each very thinly into a 25–30 cm circle.
4. 04Spread a thin layer of filling over one half, fold the other half over and pinch the edge firmly into a half-moon.
5. 05Cook in a dry frying pan under a lid for 4–5 minutes on each side until the meat is done.
6. 06Brush the hot chudu generously with butter and stack them — this keeps them soft.
