Method

  1. Season and sear the oxtail

    • Heat the vegetable oil in a stockpot and sear the oxtail on all sides until browned.
    Step 1

  2. Braise the oxtail

    • Add the water, cover and simmer gently until the meat is fork tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick gravy.
    • Shred the meat off the bones and mix it back into the gravy.

  3. Cook the macaroni

    • Boil the elbow macaroni in salted water until just tender, then drain.

    Step 4

  5. Combine the mac and cheese

    • Fold the macaroni into the cheese sauce until well coated.
    • Stir in the shredded oxtail and gravy, then chill the mixture so it firms up.

  6. Make the patty dough

    • Mix the flour, turmeric, curry powder, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl.
    • Rub in the shortening, then add water little by little and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
    • Cover and let the dough rest until slightly risen.
    Step 6

  7. Fill and seal the patties
