FILLING:
|
1. Heat a large frying pan. Add the oil, garlic, jalapeno, onions, and scallions and saute for a few minutes. Add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until crumbly.
|
2. Stir in the thyme, curry powder, paprika, and bread crumbs. Stir in the water and cook over low heat just until the water is absorbed.
|
3. Add the salt and pepper. Allow to cool.

|
DOUGH:
|
1. In a large bowl, stir the flour, curry powder, and salt together. Cut in the shortenings using a pastry blender. Keep working the flour and shortenings until the mixture is rather grainy, like coarse cornmeal.
|
2. Mix the egg and vinegar together and, using a wooden fork, stir the mixture into the flour. Add enough ice water so that the dough barely holds together.
|
3. Place on a marble pastry slab or a plastic countertop and knead for just a few turns, enough so that the dough holds together and becomes rollable. Keep the remaining dough refrigerated as you work.
|
4. Roll out a golf-ball-size piece of dough to at least 6 inches. Use a 6-inch plate as a template to cut out a circle. Put 3 tablespoons of the cooled filling in the middle of dough.
|
5. Fold the circle over to form a half moon. Seal the pie by pushing down with a fork to crimp the edges.
|
6. Bake at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes on an ungreased baking sheet. A nonstick baking sheet is best.
