Mix flour, water, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine ground meat, finely chopped onion, herbs, and spices.

Divide the rested dough into small balls, then roll each ball into a thin circle.

Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Place the rolled dough in the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the cooked dough and place on a plate, covering it to keep warm.

Spoon the meat mixture onto one half of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the filled kutab in the skillet for an additional 3-4 minutes until the meat is cooked through.

Serve hot with yogurt, lemon juice, and pomegranate seeds on the side.
