Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of salt into the bowl of a stand mixer.

Use the dough hook attachment on low speed to slowly drizzle in water until a tacky, sticky dough forms.

Knead the dough briefly until smooth and portion into golf ball-sized portions, resulting in about 8 portions.

Oil a baking sheet or plate, shape the dough balls, drizzle with oil, and cover with a tea towel to rest for 10-15 minutes.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and sauté a diced onion until translucent.

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Add 500 grams of ground lamb and break it up while browning, seasoning with salt.

Make a spice blend with equal parts cinnamon, cloves, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cardamom, black pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg; add a couple of teaspoons to the meat mixture and mix well.

Remove the mixture to a bowl to cool, then add a diced leek, chopped parsley, a diced tomato, and 2 cracked eggs; mix to combine.

Oil the work surface and press out one round of dough as thin as possible, then stretch it into a translucent sheet.

Lay down an egg roll skin or wonton wrapper in the middle, add the filling, and fold the edges over to form an envelope.

Heat oil in a skillet over high heat and fry the filled pocket until crisp on both sides, then remove to a cooling rack.
