Preparation steps
Step 1
Evenly spread the prepared lamb mince over half of each rolled-out flatbread, leaving the edges clear. Carefully fold the flatbread in half to form a semicircle, and firmly crimp the edges to ensure the filling stays inside and doesn't leak out during frying. Make sure the edges are tightly sealed.
Step 2
In a wide pot or sauté pan, heat the vegetable oil thoroughly. Carefully place the formed chebureks into the hot oil and fry them on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked chebureks to a paper towel to drain excess oil.
For dough:
Step 1
Embark on a culinary adventure by preparing the dough for your crispy chebureki. In a large pot, combine water, half a teaspoon of salt, and vegetable oil. Bring this mixture to a boil, then immediately remove it from the heat to allow it to cool slightly.
Step 2
Carefully sprinkle 100g of flour into the still-warm liquid, stirring thoroughly to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the egg and vodka, mixing well again. Gradually incorporate the remaining flour in portions, kneading the dough until smooth. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest at room temperature for a full hour to develop strength and elasticity.
Step 3
Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Place the rested dough on it and form it into a thick rope. Cut the rope into small, equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin tortilla, about 15-20 cm in diameter, trying to make them as round and even as possible.
For filling:
Step 1
Now it's time to prepare the filling. Peel the onion and dice it very finely. Transfer the chopped onion to a small bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then, thoroughly mash the onion with a pestle or a wooden spoon to release its juices and enhance its aroma.
Step 2
Thoroughly rinse the lamb pulp, cut it into large pieces, and pass it through a meat grinder with a fine grate to obtain tender minced meat. Rinse the cilantro sprigs, pat them dry, and chop them very finely so that their aroma is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Step 3
To the prepared minced lamb, add the finely chopped onion, fragrant cilantro, and kefir. Thoroughly mix the mince so that all ingredients are well combined. Leave the mince for 10 minutes at room temperature so that the meat absorbs the onion juice and cilantro aroma, becoming even juicier and richer.
Enjoy your meal!
