Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make tandoor samsa in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Wash the lamb pulp in running water, dry and chop finely with a sharp knife; under no circumstances use a blender or meat grinder.

2. STEP 2

   

   Also finely chop the fat tail fat with a knife. To make it easier to work with fat, you can put it in the freezer for a while in advance.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and rinse. Cut into small cubes. Again, do not use a grater, blender or meat grinder, otherwise the onion juice will not get into the filling and it will lose its juiciness.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place all the chopped ingredients in one deep bowl, season with cumin, salt and black pepper, thoroughly knead the meat filling with your hands so that the onion releases its juice, and set aside. You can add your favorite spices if you wish.

5. STEP 5

   

   At this time we will make the dough. Pour water into a deep container and dissolve salt in it. Then gradually start adding flour sifted through a sieve and knead the dough. You may need a little less or more flour, check the consistency. Read about flour in the article at the end of the recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the tail fat into small pieces, place it in a frying pan and melt the fat over medium heat.

7. STEP 7

   

   After removing the cracklings from the pan, gradually add the rendered fat into the dough and continue kneading it. The dough should be elastic.

8. STEP 8

   

   Divide the resulting dough into 3 equal parts (approximately 230 grams each), roll each part into a ball and place under film for 40 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   After the time has passed, take out the first part of the dough and, using starch to sprinkle the work surface, roll the dough into a thin rectangular layer, brush with soft butter and wrap into a roll. Place this roll on the second layer of dough, greased with oil, and wrap again. Repeat the same procedure with the third layer of dough.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cut the rolled roll into pucks 1.5 cm wide. Place the resulting pieces in the freezer for 20 minutes so that the butter hardens.

11. STEP 11

    

    After 20 minutes, take the first piece and roll it into a thin round cake. Place the meat filling in the center of the flatbread.

12. STEP 12

    

    Pinch the edges of the samsa to form a triangular patty.

13. STEP 13

    

    Turn the samsa over and press it lightly so that the filling is better distributed.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place samsa on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. Using a pastry brush, brush the samsa with vegetable oil and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200C and bake the pies for about 30 minutes. The times are approximate, use your equipment as a guide.
