Sha-Balé

Ingredients

 * 3 finely chopped medium onions 1 tablespoon of freshly ground ginger and garlic
 * 2 tablespoons of Cooking oil
 * 1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
 * 1 tablespoon of cooking salt
 * 2 tablespoons of soya sauce
 * 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
 * 2 tablespoons of Hot water
 * 2lb Minced Lamb or Beef
 * 6 cups of Self-Raising flour
 * Cold water

Directions
Add the cold water to the flour a little at a time.

Knead the dough for about 4-5 minutes.

Leave the dough to stand for a while at room temperature.

Add the hot water, chopped Onion, oil, salt and spices to the mince and mix them well.

Roll out the dough as thin as possible (on a well floured surface) and cut them into 4 inch rounds.

Put 2 teaspoons of the meat mixture on the round and flatten it down a little.

Put another round on top and pinch the edges together tightly.

Deep fry the sha-balé in moderately hot oil (only cook a few at a time).

Sha-balé can also be shallow fried on a low gas (but remember to fry the mince and onions first).

Serve the sha-balé hot with chilli sauce.
