    The local pizzeria in our village had a weird looking wok (upside down). The Kurdish gentleman explained it was for making "Börek". I asked him to make one for me, and it was glorious! Börek should be the everywhere! So tasty!!!
    This is another take of what I had, and I want to know how that came to be. Can you answer my question, Refika?

    I love your channel Refika. Thank you (and Burak, Bahar and your whole team) for sharing turkish food with us. I dont eat meat, but thats not a problem, as you almost always teach us about alternatives without meat. Also, I like your positive energy, and the explenations you give us, why you do something the way you do it.

    You all are too cute. Love the way you make cooking fun. Love the blend of fun and seriousness,as you explain and educate people about spices, different methods of cooking,and other options. Minced meat is usually what's taught to young boys and girls by their mother. My mother would sometimes put bitter lemon cut up like celery , eggplant, or Okra. Love the cabbage and wrapping the meal into pastry.

    I'm a frequent eater of Chinese cuisine. Their spring rolls are either fried rice paper filled with cabbage, carrot and spring onions or steamed spring rolls. Lately, I have bought only steamed vegetable spring rolls. They are delicate and delicious.

    If you want this more like a Chinese dish, you can use five-spice powder instead of curry powder. Five-spice is a mixture of star anise, cloves, cassia cinnamon, sichuan pepper, and fennel seeds.

    Have you tried pressing the mince into the pan like a smash burger so you get the tasty crust before breaking it up and adding the onions? Normally i will par fry the onions first in abit of oil to make it onion flavoured, remove the onions add the beef pressing it into the onion oil and pan wait till i get a good crust then break it up and return the onions to finish cooking with the minced meat.
    It is a method my Oma taught me as part of making meat sauces for pasta, rice, noodles. For music i like André Rieu, no idea what the kids music is called beyound loud and annoying, then again i was no different at there age.
    Our default curry powder in medium mild madras curry powder as you can always add more chilli to your plate if you wish, with a pinch or two of MSG. In the UK we call what you made samosas and be filled with just about anything, we have found it good for using up leftovers and clearing the fridge of short dated food. Great to take to school, work or even hiking as you lunch, my kids like to batter and deep fry the samosa's, sometime thick batter sometimes thin. For dipping premade sweet chilli sauce is good, but any asian / indian dips are good as long as they do not conflict with the flavours of the filling.
    thanks for the recipe, i have the urge to use bulgur as part of the filling, as it can take on flavours so well.
    Take care, God bless one and all.

    • @angellestone9160
