Put on gloves to handle scotch bonnet pepper.

Grate half an onion and green pepper for flavor.

Heat coconut oil (or vegetable oil) in a skillet.

Add spices to the oil and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Add thyme and paprika to the mixture.

Add ground beef and cook until browned.

Stir in ketchup, red wine vinegar, and a little water; let it simmer for 15-20 minutes on medium-high heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon curry powder, and 2 dashes of salt; mix well.

Grate frozen butter into the flour mixture.

Add ice-cold water, starting with about 1/3 cup, and mix until it forms a dough without overworking it.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until soft enough to handle without a knife.

Take the beef filling from the fridge and use about 1.5 tablespoons for each patty.

Mix an egg with water and dot it around the edges of the dough to seal.

Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork.

Refrigerate the patties for another 15-20 minutes to solidify.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the patties for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown.
