Add yeast and a pinch of salt to lukewarm water and wait 5 minutes; put the flour in a wide bowl, make a well, add the yeasted water, egg, and 2 tablespoons yogurt, and knead a soft dough that does not stick.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and rest in a warm place for 40 minutes.
Knead the ground beef with grated onion, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until it no longer sticks to your hand.
Roll the rested dough on a floured counter to half a centimeter thick, cut 6 to 7 cm squares, place a teaspoon of filling in the center, and close like a pouch by joining opposite corners on top.
Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium heat; arrange the dumplings without touching and fry for 6 to 7 minutes until both sides are golden, then drain on paper towels.
Whisk the yogurt with grated garlic and a pinch of salt, spread on the serving plate, and place the fried dumplings on top.
Melt the butter in a small pan, fry the tomato paste for 1 minute, drizzle over the dumplings, and serve with red pepper flakes.
💡 Tip: Do not close the dumplings too large; this fried version looks best in small pieces.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with garlic yogurt poured over the top.
