 working surface. Place a heaping teaspoon of spinach mixture in the middle
 of the eggroll skin. Using your finger, wet edges of eggroll skin with
 water and fold in half, sealing edges. Aushok is traditionally made with
 round pieces, but if you use the square, fold into triangles.

 Grind onion and 1/2 cup of water in food processor or blender. For the
 Korma sauce, slice the onion very thin. Boil the onion in 3 cups of water
 until the onion becomes tender, approximately 15 minutes. Strain the water.
 Put onion in blender with remaining ingredients. Blend well. Put sauce back
 into saucepan, bring to a boil and then simmer until sauce thickens. For
 the meat sauce, mix blended onion and beef together and brown in frying pan
 over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup water and remaining ingredients to meat
 and cook 20 to 25 minutes over medium-low heat.
