The jamaican beef patty is easy...

Jamaican curry(for yellowness)
Ground beef(or ground gizzards/livers/hearts)

In short go here:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Jamaica...es/Detail.aspx

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 dash salt
1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup shortening
1/3 cup water

2 tablespoons margarine
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
Add to Recipe Box
My folders:

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, and pinch of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup margarine and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Shape dough into a log, and cut into 10 equal sections. Roll each section into a six inch circle (approximately 1/8 inch thick). Set aside.
Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft and translucent. Stir in ground beef. Season with 1 teaspoon curry powder, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is evenly brown, stirring constantly. Stir in beef broth and bread crumbs. Simmer until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
Spoon equal amounts of filling into each pastry circle. Fold over and press edges together, making a half circle. Use a fork to press edges, and brush the top of each patty with beaten egg.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

chei you people are killing me
I know of meals but not healthy ones.
I saw DD's mac and cheese
For the ultimate enjoyment,besides the velveeta cheese,cheddar ,oregano and milk (or Cream) add maggi cube and cooked taco meat (ground meat cooked with onions,taco sauce)
Cook on stove top then transfer unto a casserole dish and bake just to brown the top.
I'm eating it right now.
No wonder my diet ain't working

Is there any Naija food that cooks in 30 minutes or less? That's about the time I have to get dinner on the table before the kids start to rip off pieces of the fridge or cardboard boxes because they are really hungry.
Also, does anyone know how to make ojojo?
