Total Time:

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. tumeric
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup (approx) ice water

Filling:
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 sm. onion, chopped
3 green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 lb. ground beef
1 tbsp. curry powder
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. tumeric
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cup water
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs

Directions:

In large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, curry powder, tumeric, and salt. Cut in shortening and butter until crumbly. Drizzle in water, stirring with fork and adding up to 2 tbsp. more water, if necessary, to make a soft dough. Form into a ball and flatten to a disc. Wrap and chill for 1 hour.*

Filling:
In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onion, green onions, garlic and cayenne pepper for 3 minutes or until softened. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside.

Over high heat, saute beef for 5 minutes or until no longer pink; drain off fat. Return onion mixture to pan along with curry powder, thyme, tumeric, salt and pepper; cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Pour in water; bring to a boil. Add crumbs; simmer for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened but still juicy. Let cool. **

Divide dough into 16 pieces. On floured pastry cloth and using stockinette-covered rolling pin, roll out each piece into a 5-inch circle. Brush edges of top half with water; place 2 heaping tbsp of filling in the centre. Fold in half, pressing edges togther with fork to seal. Prick twice; place on ungreased baking sheet. *** Bake in 375°F oven for about 20 minutes or until crisp and golden.
