A delightful twist on the classic Jamaican patties, featuring a flavorful filling and a golden, flaky crust.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when onions are added.
Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add garlic towards the end to prevent it from burning.
Add the ground beef, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned.
Break up the beef into small pieces for even cooking.
Stir in the green onions and remove from heat.
Green onions add a fresh flavor; stir them in just before removing from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, turmeric, curry powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother dough.
Cut in the margarine and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the fats evenly.
Gradually add water and mix until a dough forms.
Add water slowly to avoid making the dough too wet.
Roll the dough into a log and divide it into 10 equal sections.
Use a knife or dough cutter for precise portions.
Roll each section into a 6-inch circle.
Use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
Spoon the filling onto each circle, fold over, and seal the edges with a fork.
Brush the edges with water for a better seal.
Place the patties on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.
Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Jamaican-style patties.
Pair with a tangy dipping sauce for added flavor.
