1
Set out the frozen puff pastry to thaw on your kitchen counter for about two hours before you begin cooking.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
3
Sauté the chopped onion and 0.5 teaspoon of salt in the hot oil until the onion becomes translucent.
4
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the onions turn golden brown and no raw smell persists from the paste.
5
Add the ground beef to the saucepan. Break it apart and mix it well with the onion and paste.
6
Cover the saucepan until the ground beef loses its pink color.
7
Mix in the chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, ground cumin, ground pepper, and remaining salt. Continue cooking until the beef browns slightly.
8
Sauté until all the liquid has evaporated, leaving a dry filling. Add the chopped cilantro and sauté for an additional minute before removing saucepan from heat to cool.
9
While the beef mixture cools, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
10
Cut each sheet of the thawed puff pastry vertically into 3 equal rectangles, then cut these in half to create 6 small rectangles.
11
Place a tablespoon of the beef filling in the center of each small rectangle, fold the pastry over the filling, and press edges together to seal. For a decorative finish, press the tines of a fork along the sealed edges.
12
Brush the beaten egg over each pastry pocket before arranging them on your prepared baking sheet.
13
Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes or until pastries are golden and crisp.
14
Let them cool a bit and serve them warm.
