Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large pan, melt 1 tablespoon ghee over medium heat, then add minced meat and cook until browned and cooked through.

Stir in green peas, champignon, and salt, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Add rice to the pan, stirring to coat with the meat and vegetable mixture.

Pour in water (or broth if available), bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover, simmering until rice is tender.

Roll out puff pastry and cut into squares large enough to enclose the rice mixture.

Place a portion of the rice mixture onto each pastry square, fold and seal the edges to form parcels.

Brush the parcels with 2 tablespoons of ghee.

Place parcels on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
