Prepare the dough by mixing all-purpose flour, sugar, unsalted butter, and salt in a bowl.

Add very cold water gradually to form a smooth dough, adjusting the amount as needed.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In a skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion, ginger, and garlic until translucent.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Stir in curry powder, cumin, and chicken seasoning; add slurry for thickening.

Remove from heat and let cool.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut out circles of dough to form the pie base and top.

Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges with a fork.

Beat an egg and mix with milk or butter to create an egg wash; brush it over the top of each pie for a golden finish.

Arrange the meat pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
