Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    Chop the scallions finely and mix them in a bowl with the ricotta cheese, salt, and black pepper until combined.

Spiced Ground Beef Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess fat.

  2. 5

    Add Aromatics

    Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Spices

    Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 7

    Simmer the Sauce

    Add water and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.

Mint and Garlic Yogurt Sauce Preparation

  1. 8

    Make the Yogurt Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the plain yogurt with finely chopped fresh mint leaves, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 9

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough into thin sheets. Use a round cutter to cut out circles.

  2. 10

    Fill the Ravioli

    Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Moisten the edges with water and fold over to create a half-moon shape. Press to seal.

  3. 11

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for about 4-5 minutes until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  4. 12

    Serve the Dish

    Plate the cooked ravioli, top with spiced ground beef sauce, and drizzle with mint and garlic yogurt sauce. Serve with naan on the side.
