Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add minced beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in green chili, curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper; cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and mix in chopped coriander leaves and lime juice.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin circle.

Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon and seal the edges.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry each roti until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve hot with a side of coconut sambol or chutney.
