Preparation

First we prepare the dough for khanum. Sift into a bowl of flour, add salt, vegetable oil and gently add water. Mix the dough with the spoon, then continue to knead the hands for 5-6 minutes. Roll into a ball, cover with a film and leave for 40 minutes.

In the meantime, we are preparing the filling for the khanum. According to the recipe, we have potatoes, so we clean it from the peel and cut it into thin straws (you can grate it on a large grater). Onion shredded thin semirings, add to the potatoes, season with pepper (do not salt!) And mix. The dough is divided into two equal parts, one part is rolled into a thin layer and lubricated with vegetable oil. Half of the filling is laid out on the dough, departing from the edges (from one to leave about 7-10 cm), salt and pour two tablespoons of oil. We turn into a non-coarse roll. In the same way we prepare the second roll. The bottom of the manties is greased with vegetable oil and carefully laid out the roll of khanum. We bring the water in the mantissa to a boil and set our khanum to prepare for 45-50 minutes.

For sauce, clean and finely chop the onions and garlic. At pepper we delete a core and seeds, we cut into cubes. We warm up the vegetable oil in the saucepan, lay the onion, add salt and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft. Then add the sweet pepper and garlic, mix and cook another 1 minute. Add the tomatoes cut into small cubes (previously peeled), spices (fine with thyme, basil) and continue to cook the sauce for 15 minutes on a small fire, stirring occasionally. Solim, add sugar, remove the sauce from the fire, let it cool down and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, cilantro and basil. We put the prepared home-made khanum on a dish, cut it into portions and sprinkle with chopped parsley and cilantro. Serve with tomato sauce.

Also you can cook khana with meat. To do this, replace half of the potatoes with lamb (cut into small cubes or minced meat). And for lovers of vegetable fillings, we suggest to make khanum with pumpkin and meat. For the recipe you will need to take meat and pumpkin in the proportions of 50/50, pumpkin cut into small cubes, and the meat to grind for minced meat. Even those who do not like pumpkin, almost do not feel its taste, it will only add a filling of juiciness and tenderness.
