Using the remaining oil to oil the work surface, flatten each ball very thinly. Divide the filling equally between the pieces of dough and fold in the sides to form a square.
Cook in a frying pan for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, in two batches if necessary, until the dough is golden and cooked through.
