I rate this 5 out 5, it was so good on all levels of yum😋

 

I rate this 2.5 out of 5, I would have made it 3 if there was more beef, also it was really spicy🌶

 

I rate this 2 out of 5, it needs more beef and it needs to be spicer👎

If you want to make it here is a recipe.

Prep Time: 40 min Cook Time: 30 mins Total Time: 1 hour 10 mins Servings: 10

Ingredients

for the pastry:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 ¼ teaspoons curry powder

• 1 pinch salt

• ¼ cup margarine

• ¼ cup shortening

• ⅓ cup water

• 1 teaspoon saffron

for the filling:

• 2 tablespoons margarine

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 teaspoon red curry powder

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon pepper

• ½ cup beef broth

• ½ cup dry bread crumbs

• 1 egg, beaten

 

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. Make pastry: Mix flour, saffron, curry powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in margarine and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Shape dough into a log and cut it into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle (about 1/8-inch thick) on a lightly floured surface; set aside.

3. Make filling: Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in ground beef; season with curry powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until beef is evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in beef broth and bread crumbs. Simmer until liquid is absorbed; remove from heat.

4. Spoon equal amounts of filling onto each pastry circle. Fold over and press edges together, making a half-circle. Use the back of a fork to seal edges, then brush tops with beaten egg. Place pastries on a baking sheet.

5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
