Mix the beaten eggs with the cooked minced meat, chopped onion, green chilli, coriander and garam masala to make the filling.
Divide the dough into balls and roll each into a thin square or rectangle sheet.
Pour a portion of the egg-meat filling onto the centre of the sheet, then fold all four sides over it to make a sealed square packet.
Heat a little oil in a flat pan and shallow-fry the packet on medium heat, turning carefully, until both sides are golden and crisp.
