In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion until translucent.

Add minced pork to the skillet and cook until browned.

Season the meat mixture with garlic, dried dill, black pepper, marjoram, and basil; stir well and remove from heat.

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 dough circle.

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

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry each chebureki until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels before serving.
