Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour with 0.5 cup water and a pinch of salt until a shaggy dough forms.

  2. Step 2

    Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks, ~5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in diced onion, scallions, garam masala, salt, and pepper; cook until fragrant, ~2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Divide dough into 2 balls. Roll each into a thin 8-inch round on a floured surface.

    Spread half the meat filling onto one half of each dough round; fold in half to seal.
