Cover and rest aside for 15 mins
Filling:
Heat a skillet with 2 tbsp of oil over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and garlic, stir and saute until onions are translucent. Add all spice powder, chopped green chilli, black pepper powder and salt to taste. Saute all spices together for couple minutes. Remove onto a bowl and set aside.
On the same pan, add ground meat and saute until the meat is colored and all the fat is released.
Add garlic paste, grated boiled potato and the spice mix. Stir and cook everything together for 5 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool down.
Uncover pie dough and knead for couple minutes.
Divide dough to 4 equal smaller portions.
Dust flour on the rolling surface and roll out the dough into very thin round circle. Set aside and sprinkle flour on top of it. Repeat the same process for the remaining dough balls and layer them on top of each other.
Once all 4 portions are rolled out, roll them out gently and slowly to maker larger and thinner sheets. Make sure to dust flour between each sheet so they don't stick to each other.
Take out one sheet and brush butter on the top surface. Flip it over and add the minced meat filling in the center of the sheet, then add a layer of shredded cheese.
Close in the sides of the round sheet in your hand, twist the bottom and tuck in the top half underneath. (As shown in recipe video)
Repeat the same for remaining sheets.
