Fried Pelmeni

Prepare the Dough In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt for the dough. Gradually add water and knead until you have a smooth dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling In a separate bowl, mix together the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper for the filling.

Shape the Pelmeni Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is thin. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough.

Fill and Seal the Pelmeni Place a small amount of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough in half and pinch the edges to seal the filling inside.

Cook the Pelmeni In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pelmeni for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove them from the water using a slotted spoon and drain well.

Fry the Pelmeni Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the cooked pelmeni in a single layer and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Serve and Enjoy Serve the fried pelmeni hot with sour cream and garnish with fresh dill.
