Measure and add 4 cups of flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of salt to the flour.

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of turmeric for color.

Gradually add cold water to form a soft dough, mixing until it comes together.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it until soft.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Prepare the filling by browning 2 and 1/4 pounds of lean ground beef in a pan, draining any excess liquid.

Chop onion, celery, and tomatoes, and blend them in a food processor until fine.

Transfer the blended vegetables to a bowl and repeat the process with any remaining vegetables.

Add 2 cloves of garlic, 4 scallions, red and green peppers, and chopped carrots to the food processor and blend until fine.

Combine the pureed vegetables with the browned beef in a bowl and mix well.

Let the meat mixture sit for a few minutes to marinate.
