* Allow to cool a little and then Mash to a purée. Season to taste.
* '''Making the fatayers'''

* Divide the remaining ingredients into four and place in the centre of each disc, Squash first, Cheese last.
* Brush the edges of the discs with a little water so they stick better and then shape to a small pyramid and squeeze the joins together to seal.
