Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Make filling: Heat oil in skillet. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant. Add beef, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned. Stir in cilantro. Cool slightly.
2. Prepare dough: Mix flour, salt, and oil. Add water gradually until smooth dough forms. Knead briefly, then rest 20 minutes.
