Total time: 80 min
Yield: 20 servings
Ingredients: Flour: 650 g; Yogurt (or sour cream): 180 g; Warm milk: 180 ml; Vegetable oil: 160 ml; Eggs: 2; Sugar: 1.5 tbsp; Baking powder: 15 g; Salt: A pinch; Potatoes (boiled): 400 g; Butter: 40 g; Paneer (or cottage cheese): 100 g; Green onion: Finely chopped (to taste); Salt: A pinch; Pepper: To taste; Egg yolk: 1; Milk: 1 tbsp; Sesame seeds: 150 g

Directions

1. Step

Mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl. Add the butter, a pinch of salt, pepper, and chopped green onion. Mix well. Add the paneer (or cottage cheese) and mix thoroughly. Set aside.

2. Step

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt (or sour cream), warm milk, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, and salt. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the baking powder and flour, mixing continuously until a soft dough forms. If needed, add a small amount of plain flour while kneading to achieve a soft, non-sticky texture.

3. Step

Divide the dough into 20 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Roll out each ball into a flat circle. Place 1 spoonful of the filling in the center. Cut a small slit in the middle of the dough circle. Fold, wrap, and tie the dough around the filling to seal it.

4. Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the mixture over the shaped dough pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
