In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the water and vegetable oil, mixing to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the carrot and potato, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the peas and curry powder, stirring to coat the vegetables in the spices. Pour in the coconut milk, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and cook until the vegetables are tender and the mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Allow the filling to cool to room temperature.
After the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, flatten it slightly, and spoon a generous tablespoon of the cooled filling into the center.
Gather the edges of the dough to encase the filling, pinching to seal. Place the buns seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 15 minutes.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
