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

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Finely chop onion and herbs, then combine with ground meat and spices in a bowl.

Divide the rested dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle.

Place a spoonful of the meat mixture on one half of each circle.

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

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Place the kutabs in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve warm with yogurt and garlic sauce, garnished with pomegranate seeds and greens.
