* 100 ml (3½ fl oz) natural yoghurt
* 150 ml (¼ pint) olive oil
* 2 teaspoons dry yeast
* 1 teaspoon salt
== Directions ==
# First soak the yeast in 250 ml (9 fl oz) warm water then set aside.
# Place the salt and flour in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
# Make a well in the centre of the flour.
# Next add the yoghurt and olive oil to the yeast and stir then gradually pour the mixture to the flour and mix together to form a dough.
# Knead the dough for 15 minutes, until it is nice and soft and not sticking to the surface of the bowl.
# Brush a little olive oil on the surface of the dough and place in a large bowl, cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place until dough becomes double the size or for 1 – 1½ hours.
# Heat1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan and fry the chopped onions on medium heat for 3 – 5 minutes until slightly browned.
# Set aside and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
# In a separate bowl place the yoghurt, tahini, vinegar and chopped tomatoes and mix well, then pour over the fried onions.
# Add salt, pepper and garam masala to the mixture, then add the mince and mix well.
# Take out dough and knead again for 1 minute.
# Now form and cut dough into disks of 7½ cm (3 inches) in diameter and 1 cm (½ inch) thick.
# Cover the dough so it does not dry out.
# Place dough disks on a greased baking tray measuring approx. 40 x 28 cm (16 x 11 inches).
# Spread 1 – 2 teaspoons of filling onto the dough disks.
# Decorate with about 3 pine nuts and press filling firmly onto the dough disks.
