      2 ts Vegetable oil

  DOUGH: In large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, curry powder, 
  tumeric, and salt. Cut in shortening and butter until crumbly. Drizzle in 
  water, stirring with fork and adding up to 2 tb more water if necessary, to 
  make a soft dough. Form into a ball and flatten to a disc. Wrap and chill 
  for 1 hour.*(Can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 
  weeks.)* 
   
  FILLING: In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onion, green 
  onions, garlic and cayenne pepper for 3 minutes or until softened. Remove 
  with slotted spoon and set aside. Over high heat, saute beef for 5 minutes 
  or until no longer pink; drain off fat. Return onion mixture to pan along 
  with curry powder, thyme, tumeric, salt and pepper; cook for 3 minutes over 
  medium heat. Pour in water; bring to a boil. Add crumbs; simmer for 3 
  minutes or until slightly thickened but still juicy. Let cool. *(Can be 
  covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.)* 
   
  Divide dough into 16 pieces. On floured pastry cloth and using 
  stockinette-covered rolling pin, roll out each piece into 5-inch circle. 
  Brush edges of top half with water; place 2 heaping tbsp of filling in the 
  centre. Fold in half, pressing edges togther with fork to seal. Prick 
  twice; place on ungreased baking sheet. *(Patties can be covered and 
  refrigerated for up to 1 day.)* Bake in 375 F oven for about 20 minutes or 
  until crisp and golden.
