About

These hand pies were my favorite snack in high school, and even though I’ve moved across oceans and continents, they continue to thrill me. During high school, I’d stop by the local Goan bakery every week to grab one or two of these delicious spiced ground meat “patties.” When I couldn’t find an equivalent here in America, I set about creating my own.
