In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the flour mixture. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
For the filling, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the curry powder, then add the coconut milk and chicken broth. Mix well and let it simmer until the vegetables are cooked through and the liquid has reduced, about 10 minutes.
Add the green peas and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece of dough and place a spoonful of the filling in the center.
Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Shape into a bun and place it seam side down on the prepared baking tray.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving.
