Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
¾ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon turmeric
¾ teaspoon salt
1 pound lean ground beef
½ cup water
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
½ cup butter, melted
16 ounces phyllo dough

Instructions

Heat a large skillet with 2 Tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil. Add onion, garlic, ginger, ground coriander, turmeric, salt, and cook, stirring over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add ½ cup water and simmer until evaporated, about 3 to 4 minutes, then stir in cilantro. I also chose to add some leftover peas and carrots. You may also add cooked potatoes as well.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a baking sheet or dish. Unroll phyllo dough, thaw completely if frozen, on a dry work surface, and in a separate dish melt ½ cup butter.
Remove 1 sheet of phyllo dough and lay it on the work surface with the long side facing you. Brush lightly with melted butter and lay the second sheet of dough on top and brush it with melted butter.
Cut the sheets vertically in half and add a scoop of the ground beef mixture in the bottom right-hand corner of the strip, so that it fills the entire corner.
Fold the corner to the other side to make a triangle and continue folding all the way to the end of the strip, as if folding a flag.
Place on a baking sheet or pan and brush the top with melted butter.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough and filling. Bake 375 degrees F. until lightly browned, about 15 minutes and serve warm. Enjoy!
