Step 2: Add the crushed garlic, ground coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, and allspice to the pan. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously, to toast the spices and release their oils. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.

Ivana’s note
Letting the spiced onion mixture cool completely before mixing it into the raw mince is critical. If it’s hot, it will melt the fat in the meat prematurely, which leads to a dense, tough filling rather than a juicy one.
