• 1¼ cups of lukewarm water

Filling Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 500 grams of minced meat
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon of ginger powder
• ½ teaspoon of turmeric
• 1 teaspoon of mixed spices
• 1 teaspoon of crushed chili
• ¼ cup of finely chopped parsley
• 1 cup of finely shredded mozzarella cheese

For Assembly:

• ¼ cup of melted butter
• ½ cup of sunflower oil

How to Prepare Spiral Kofta Pie:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, semolina, salt, and lukewarm water. Use a mixer on medium speed for 5 minutes until you get a smooth, cohesive dough.
   • Remove the dough from the bowl and place it in an oiled dish. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes until it doubles in size.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
   • Add the minced meat, salt, black pepper, ginger powder, turmeric, mixed spices, and crushed chili. Stir well and cook for a few minutes until the meat is fully cooked and any liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool.

3. Assemble the Pie:

   • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and sunflower oil. Divide the dough into four equal balls.
   • Roll out the first ball on a floured surface, brushing it with the butter-oil mixture as you roll it into a circular shape.
   • Place a quarter of the filling in a rectangular shape in the center of the dough. Sprinkle some parsley and mozzarella cheese on top, then roll the dough into a tube shape. Coil it in a spiral in a baking dish. Repeat this process for the remaining dough and filling.

4. Bake the Pie:

   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the baking dish in the center of the oven and bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
   • Remove from the oven and serve hot.
