Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until elastic, then let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.

Chop the chicken and onion finely, then mix with minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into circles about 10 cm in diameter.

Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each circle.

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

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the belashy in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by sour cream.
