Make the dough

Mix the flour, water and salt into a firm, smooth dough.

Rest the dough

Cover the dough and let it rest.

Mix the filling

Mix the ground beef and lamb with the grated onion, water, cumin, salt and pepper into a juicy filling.

Roll and cut

Roll the dough thin and cut it into rounds.

Fill and twist

Place filling in the center of each round, gather the edges upward and twist into a topknot, pinching to seal.

Boil the dumplings

Boil the dumplings in salted water until they float and are cooked through.

Serve

Lift the dumplings out, dust with black pepper, and serve hot — pick each one up by the topknot, bite a small hole, and sip the broth first.
