Ingredients<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

1 pk active dry yeast
\n 1\/4 c ,lukewarm water<\/p>\n

FILLING ========================
\n 1\/4 lb mutton (or beef suet –about)
\n – 1 cup),- tightly packed
\n 3 T parsley,Chopped
\n 1\/2 c finely onion,Chopped
\n 1\/4 t cumin (heaping tsp.),Ground
\n 1 red chili pepper,Dried
\n 1 t paprika (heaping tsp.)<\/p>\n

DOUGH ==========================
\n 2 c unbleached flour
\n 1 t salt<\/p>\n

GARNISH ========================
\n 4 t sweet butter,melted<\/p>\n

Cooking Instructions<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

Sprinkle the yeast over 1\/4 cup lukewarm water. Stir to dissolve
\nand let stand in a warm place for 10 minutes, or until the yeast has
\nbecome bubbly and doubled in volume.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, make the filling. Chop or grind suet; pound the parsley,
\nonion and spices in a mortar or chop finely to a paste. Mix with the
\nsuet and set aside.<\/p>\n

Mix the flour with the salt and make a well in the center. Pour in
\nthe bubbling yeast and enough lukewarm water to form a ball of dough. (Add more water if the dough seems hard to handle.) Knead well until smooth and elastic, about 20 minutes. Separate the ball of dough into 4 equal parts.<\/p>\n

Lightly flour a board. Begin patting the first ball of dough down to
\na disc shape, stretching and flattening it to make a rectangle
\napproximately 8 x 14 inches. Spread one-quarter of the filling in
\nthe center. Fold the right and then the left side of the dough over
\nthe filling. Press down on this ‘package’ and begin flattening and
\nstretching it (with the filling inside) until it is the same size (8
\nx 14 inches) as before. Repeat the folding, this time right side over
\ncenter and left side under. Repeat with the remaining 3 balls of
\ndough. Set aside, covered, in a warm place for 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Heat the griddle. Prick the ‘packages’ with a fork six or seven
\ntimes on both sides. Place on the griddle – they will begin to fry
\nin the fat released from their fillings. Fry the ‘packages’ 10
\nminutes on each side, until crisp. Dot each package with a
\nteaspoonful of melted butter before serving.
