Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water

For the filling:

  • 1/2 lb. ground beef or lamb
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped potatoes
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped cabbage
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well. Gradually add the water and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the ground beef or lamb and cook until browned.
  3. Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to the skillet. Add the salt, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook until the vegetables are tender.

  5. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle. Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto one side of the circle.
  6. Fold the other side of the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Press the edges together to seal the filling inside.
  7. Place the chap shoro onto a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little vegetable oil.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chap shoro is golden brown.
