Knead the flour, egg, water, and salt into a soft dough and rest it for 30 minutes.
Finely chop the onion and cook it with the ground beef and black pepper in a pan for 8 minutes, until the juices evaporate.
Divide the dough into 6 balls and roll them out thinly on a floured surface to 2 millimeters thick.
Spread the beef filling in the center of each dough sheet, fold the edges into a triangle, and press with your fingertips to seal.
Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and fry the parcels for 3 minutes per side, until golden.
Whisk the yogurt with the crushed garlic and spoon it over the kapama.
Foam the red pepper flakes in the butter for 1 minute, pour the sauce over the garlic yogurt, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: The beef filling must cook off its juices completely; a wet filling soaks the dough and opens the triangular parcels during frying.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Alasehir kapamasi hot with plenty of garlic yogurt, red pepper butter, and optional fresh parsley.
