- Makes: 1 serving (194 g)
- Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients
- 60 g Pie crust, unbaked
- 1 g Turmeric
- 75 g Beef, ground, 80% lean, raw
- 20 g Onions, raw

- 2 g Curry powder
- 6 g Breadcrumbs, dry

Method
- Work the turmeric into the pastry dough so it turns a deep golden yellow, then roll out and cut into a large circle.
- Cook the onion and chili for 4 minutes, add the ground beef and curry powder, and cook, breaking it up, until fully browned with no pink left, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the beef broth and breadcrumbs and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the filling holds together but isn't wet; season with the salt and let cool.
- Spoon the filling onto one half of the pastry circle, fold the other half over, and press and crimp the edge firmly to seal.
- Brush the top with beaten egg.
- Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is crisp and deep golden.
