Critical Success Points

  • Cook the meat until well browned and no pink remains.
  • Achieve the right dough consistency (soft but not sticky).
  • Let the balls rest 30‑45 min to relax the gluten.
  • Do not overfill to avoid tearing the msemen during folding.
  • Cook on high heat but watch to prevent burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw meat with separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Be careful with hot oil when pan‑frying.
  • Use gloves or a cloth to handle a very hot pan.
