Ingredients
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g active dry yeast
- 50 g sugar
- 8 g salt
- 250 ml milk, warmed
- 50 g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 300 g ground beef
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 potato, small diced
- 1 carrot, small diced
- 100 g peas
- 120 ml water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg, for egg wash
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Pour the warmed milk over the dry ingredients. Add melted butter and a beaten egg. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add ground beef to the pan, stir until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add diced potato, carrot, and peas. Pour in water, then season with salt and pepper.
Cover and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Allow the filling to cool.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough, and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Flatten a dough ball, and place about 1-2 tablespoons of cooled filling in the center.
Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. Place the bun seam-side-down on the prepared tray.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Leave space between buns for rising.
Cover the buns with a cloth and let rest for 15-20 minutes.
Beat an egg for the egg wash, and brush it lightly over each bun.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious curry buns!
