Directions

• The pastry. In a large bowl, add the flour, turmeric, curry, and salt. Work the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles crumbs. Mix in the water. Shape the dough into a ball. If its not sticky enough, add some more water until you can form a ball. On a lightly floured surface, <g data-gr-id=103 id=103 class=gr_ gr_103 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling>kneed</g> the dough for a few seconds, cover with a plastic wrap and let sit in a fridge while preparing the filling.
• The filling Mix the onion, scallions, and the pepper with a ground beef. In a skillet, heat the oil and cook the ground beef mixture, stirring, for about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Cover and cook for another 30 minutes. When done, let the mixture cool completely.
• The assembly. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the dough from the fridge and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each one of them into a 4-inch circle. Place about 1/12 of the beef filling in the middle of each circle, fold over and press edges together with a fork.
• Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, until golden brown. Enjoy!
