Knead the flour, water, and half of the salt into a smooth dough.
Rest the dough in a covered bowl for 30 minutes.
Dice the onions small and fry them with the minced meat in a pan for 8 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and remaining salt and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir the parsley into the filling and let the filling become warm.
Roll the dough into small rounds, add the minced-meat filling, and seal the edges by pressing.
Heat the vegetable oil to 175°C and fry the agzi yumuk for 4 minutes.
Drain off excess oil and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Let the minced-meat filling cool until warm before adding it to the dough; hot filling softens the dough and makes the edges harder to seal.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve agzi yumuk hot with optional lemony shepherd salad and ayran as a Urfa-style warm appetizer.
