1

Chop 2 large onions and place them in a food processor to finely chop.

2

If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the onions by hand.

3

Chop 200-250 grams of tomato and add it to the food processor.

4

Chop green bell pepper and red bell pepper, removing the seeds, and add to the food processor.

5

Chop fresh coriander and add it to the mixture in the food processor along with 5-6 cloves of garlic.

6

Transfer the chopped vegetables to a bowl and add the ground lamb, which should have about 30% fat.

7

Add 1 tablespoon red chili flakes, 1 tablespoon red chili powder, 1.5 teaspoons black pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, and 2 tablespoons chili paste to the lamb mixture.

8

Mix well and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

9

For the dough, combine 2 cups of room temperature water with 1 teaspoon salt and 4 cups of flour that has been sifted with 1 teaspoon baking powder.

10

Knead the dough until soft and let it rest for 30 minutes.

11

After resting, divide the dough into equal pieces weighing about 100 grams each to make 10 pieces.

12

Rest the dough pieces for another 5 minutes.

13

Roll each piece into a flat shape, not too thick or too thin, and place on parchment paper.

14

Spread the lamb and vegetable mixture evenly over the dough.

15

Preheat a pan and place the dough with the topping in it, cooking for 5 minutes.

16

After 5 minutes, check if the bottom is crispy and brown, then remove the parchment paper and cook for another 5 minutes.

Once cooked, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 250°C for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
