Step 3
Knead a stiff dough, work it well until the ball becomes smooth and elastic. You might need a bit more flour—adjust according to the dough. Place the finished dough in a plastic bag and let it rest for 30–40 minutes. After this time, the dough will become softer and more pliable.

Prepare the filling: mince the meat through a meat grinder, add finely chopped onion, salt, spices, and a couple of tablespoons of water (for juiciness). Mix the filling well with your hands, kneading it.
