Combine flour, salt and curry powder in a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like fine crumbs.
Cook and stir the meat mixture in the saucepan. Once it has browned, drain off excess fat and add enough water to barely cover the meat. Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. Add the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, ginger, and curry powder. Remove from heat and let it cool down.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF/190ºC. Roll the dough 1/8-inch thick and cut it into 6-inch diameter circles. Place 2 tablespoons of beef filling in the center of each disk. Use a small pastry brush to wet the edges of the dough circle with the egg and water mixture. Fold the dough over the beef filling, forming a half moon shape, and press edges with a fork to seal.
Place patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them for about 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Make cocktail-sized appetizer patties by cutting the circles to only 3 inches in diameter; you will end up with 12-15 two-bite-sized patties.
