Start by making the dough for the beef patties.

Add all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl.

Add salt, turmeric, curry powder, and baking powder to the flour.

Incorporate butter and shortening into the flour mixture using a dough cutter or fork.

Gradually add ice cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough forms together.

Knead the dough on a floured surface and form it into a ball.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight.

Chop one yellow onion and some garlic for the filling.

Peel and chop fresh ginger, and chop green onions.

In a skillet, add garlic salt, meat seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground allspice, and ground coriander to the ground beef.

Cook the ground beef until browned, stirring in the chopped onions, green onions, garlic, ginger, and thyme.

Add two chopped habanero peppers to the beef mixture, adjusting spice levels as desired.

Incorporate browning sauce for color and flavor.

If the beef mixture becomes dry, add beef broth or water as needed.

Set the cooked beef mixture aside to cool.

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface, using a rolling pin.

Grate frozen butter into the dough and fold it over to create layers.

Cut circles from the rolled dough using a saucer or small plate.

Place a generous amount of the beef filling onto each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges with egg wash and a fork.

Brush the tops of the patties with egg wash for a glossy finish.

Place the patties on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
