  3. 03

    Mix the mashed potato with the scallion, fresh coriander, black pepper, and the salt.

    Divide the dough into portions and roll each one into a thin round. Spread some filling over one half, fold the dough over, and seal the edges firmly.

    Stir together the plain yogurt, garlic, dried mint, and the salt.
