Pumpkin Kutab Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 small pumpkin (about 1 lb), peeled and grated
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or cilantro)
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the dough:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, vegetable oil, and warm water. Knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Prepare the filling:

In a separate bowl, mix together the grated pumpkin, chopped onion, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Form the kutabs:

Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the pumpkin filling onto one half of the dough circle, leaving some space around the edges. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal.
Cook the kutabs:

Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil.
Carefully place the kutabs in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve:

Serve the pumpkin kutabs hot, either plain or with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream on the side. Enjoy!
