Steps

1
Mix the flour, cold water and salt into a stiff dough, knead 10 minutes and rest it covered for 40 minutes.
2
Combine the mince with the onion, coriander, blue fenugreek, chilli flakes and salt, then beat in the cold stock a little at a time until the filling is loose and wet. That liquid becomes the soup inside.
3
Roll the dough to 2 mm and cut 12 cm rounds — larger than they look like they need to be.
4
Put a generous spoon of filling in the centre and gather the edge into pleats, turning as you go. Aim for at least 18 folds.
5
Twist the top into a firm knot and pinch off the excess dough. A loose knot leaks and the broth is lost.
6
Boil in well-salted water, stirring once so they do not stick, for 8-10 minutes after they float.
7
Serve with coarse black pepper. Hold by the knot, bite a small hole, drink the broth first, then eat the rest and leave the knot on the plate.
