- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt plain / Plain Yogurt
- 1/2 Cup Water (more or less may be required depending on the flour)
For Filling
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Small Onion Chopped
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 3-4 medium size potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1 tsp Red chilly powder / Smoked Paprika (as per taste)

- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 Cups Spinach chopped
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Mint chopped/torn into small pieces
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Parsley/Coriander
- 1 small Tomato chopped
Instructions
For the Dough
- Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add yogurt and water. Give it a quick mix.
- If the dough is dry add more water a tablespoon at a time.
- Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and set aside.
For the Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Once hot saute onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
- Add in the potatoes, spinach, Tomato paste, coriander powder, Red chilly powder, Black Pepper powder and salt.
- Let it cook until the spinach is all done. Say 3-4 minutes. If you mix is a bit soft let it cook for an addition 3-4 minutes. Let it cool.
Cooking the Gözleme
- Divide the dough into 6 equal parts or as desired on the size required.
- Roll it out as thin as possible and in the shape of a rectangle.
- Spread the filling evenly in the center, leaving around 1.5 inches from each side.
- Top it up with chopped tomatoes, feta cheese and mint.
- Very lightly brush the edges with water.
- Take one side and put it on the mixture. Carefully grab the other end and put it on the first one, so that it covers and seals.
- We need to make it in the shape of an envelope so that the filling is nicely sealed with the dough.
- Cook it on slow until evenly cooked from all the sides.
- Enjoy it hot.
Notes
All Purpose Flour/Maida can be replaced with whole wheat flour or you can use a combination of both. The texture of the bread will be different based on the flour used.
