Hello Everyone!
If I have to translate Ground beef kombe I would say fermented dough savory pastry with ground beef and potato mixture but as you can see it doesn’t make a good title : ) Also I’m not feeling comfortable to translate Ground beef kombe because it’s a very unique dish and it deserves to mentioned by its own name. It’s an easy and very delicious recipe. Just try it and you will love love love!

Hello İsa,
Sorry for my late reply. Thank you for trying my recipes.
