Directions

Brown ground beef in a frying pan and drain grease. Add potato, onion, garlic, ginger, other spices and water to beef and cook for 5-10 minutes.

Stir ensure that no ingredients sticks to the bottom of the pan.

Once onions are mostly cooked and tender, stir in the tomato paste and peas. Cook mixture for a few more minutes, then remove from heat and cool.

Lay two sheets of freshly thawed phyllo paper over each other on a cutting board, then cut into three by three inch strips. Add beef filling to one corner of the phyllo strips, and fold the other corner over it to make a triangle. Fold the remaining phyllo dough over the pocket, then brush with melted butter and place on a baking sheet.

Bake in a 350F oven for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot.
