# Preparation of the meat:
# Fully cook your meat with the onions and spices (salt, black pepper and allspice)
# Filling:
# Fill the round little dough with the meat, about a teaspoon each, fold the sides of the dough on each other then fold again around to form a hat shape of the dough and meat. Set aside on a cookie sheet. Bake in a 250 degree oven just to get it set.
Yogurt preparation:
# Mix the yogurt with the cornstarch and little cold water. Cook on high heat with constant stirring until it boils. Add some salt to it if needed. If the yogurt is too think, add a little water to it.
# Add the sheesh barak to the boiling yogurt. Let boil on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
