Mangalorean Recipes

Crust

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour (see Note)
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 5 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/3 cup ice water
• 1 large egg yolk

Filling

• 8 ounces 93%-lean ground beef
• 1 bunch scallions, minced
• 1 teaspoon minced Scotch bonnet chile pepper (see Tip), or to taste
• 1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumbs (see Note)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. To prepare crust: Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 3/4 teaspoon salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and quickly rub them into the dry ingredients with your fingers until smaller but still visible. Add oil and toss with a fork to combine. Whisk water and egg yolk in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir until the dough begins to come together. Knead in the bowl a few times until it forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. To prepare filling: Cook ground beef, scallions and chile pepper in a medium skillet over medium heat, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in breadcrumbs, water, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric and 1/4 teaspoon salt; mix well. Let cool.
3. Preheat oven to 400
