  • Roll each piece into a ball. Repeat with other pieces and leave them in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle some flour on the balls, to avoid them sticking to each other.

  • Add some water, if required, to make the filling a little juicy.
  • Roll out the dough balls into round circles, leaving the center thicker than the edges.
  • Place a little meat filling in the center of the circle and seal the edges with your fingers.
  • Boil water in a large pot.
  • Dip the bottoms of each buuz in oil and place them in an inlay that will be inserted in the pot for steaming.
  • Ensure that the buuz do not touch each other.
  • Steam the buuz for 15 minutes.
  • Open the lid and fan some air with the help of a cutting board or newspaper, to give them a reddish glossy look.
  • Serve hot.
