Prepare the filling. Mince the onions, take the shell to the tomatoes and cut them into pieces. Place the ground meat in a bowl and add the minced onion, the tomatoes, the salt and the black pepper. Mix very well using a fork to press. Prepare the dough. Mix the flour and the baking powder, the margarine at room temperature, the oil, the yogurt, the water and the egg white. Knead very well in order to get a soft and homogeneous dough that you can easily work with your hands. Separate portions of dough in the amount of a tangerine (150 g) and open each one with a rolling pin.
