Method

  1. 1

    Mix the plain flour with 160ml warm water and a pinch of salt to a soft dough, knead briefly, then rest for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat half the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the lamb mince for 5 minutes, breaking it up, until no pink remains.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, cumin seeds and garlic and fry for 4 minutes, until the onion has softened.

  4. 4

    Stir in the light soy sauce and the spring onions, and set the filling aside.

  5. 5

    Divide the dough into 4 and roll each piece out thinly, then cook in the remaining oil in a hot dry frying pan for 2 minutes each side, until puffed and lightly browned.

  6. 6

    Split each flatbread and fill with the spiced lamb mixture to serve.
