Tandoor samsa in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Finely chop the lamb meat with a sharp knife, in no case do not use a blender or meat grinder.

2. Step 2:

   

   Chicken fat is also finely cut with a knife. To make it easier to work with fat, you can put it in the freezer for a while.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut onion into small cubes. Again, in no case 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:

   

   Put all the chopped ingredients in one deep bowl, season with cumin, salt and ground black pepper, carefully knead the meat filling with your hands so that the onion gives its juice, and set aside.

5. Step 5:

   

   At this time, we prepare the dough. Pour water into a deep container and dissolve salt in it. Then gradually begin to pour the flour sifted through a sieve and knead the dough.

6. Step 6:

   

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

7. Step 7:

   

   Removing the pork rinds from the pan, gradually introduce the melted fat into the dough and continue to knead it. The dough should turn out elastic.

9. Step 8:

   

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

10. Step 9:

    

    After the time has elapsed, we take out the first part of the dough, and using starch to powder the work surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangular layer, lubricate with soft butter and wrap in a roll. We spread this roll on the second layer of dough, greased with oil, and wrap it again. Repeat the same procedure with the third layer of dough.

11. Step 10:

    

    We cut the rolled roll into 1.5 cm wide washers. The resulting blanks are removed for 20 minutes in the freezer so that the butter freezes.

12. Step 11:

    

    After 20 minutes, we take the first blank and roll it into a thin round cake. Put the meat filling in the center of the tortilla.

13. Step 12:

    

    We pinch the edges of the samsa, forming a pie of triangular shape.

14. Step 13:

    

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

15. Step 14:

    

    Spread samsa on a greased baking sheet with vegetable oil. Using a pastry brush, lubricate the samsa with vegetable oil and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Put the baking sheet in the oven preheated to 200oC and bake the pies for 30 minutes.
