The Veg Curry Bun, often known as Indian-style curry bread, is a tasty deep-fried bun filled with spicy, creamy vegetable curry. The outer layer is made of soft yeast dough, which is then coated with breadcrumbs and fried till golden and crispy. Inside, you'll find a mouthwatering curry made with potatoes, carrots, beans, onions, and a few special spices that make it very comfortable. It's crispy on the outside but soft and spicy on the inside, like a mouthful of heaven! It never fails to impress when served with tea in the evening or at a party.
Pre-preparation: Begin by combining the flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast in a bowl. Slowly add warm water and knead into a smooth, silky dough. Apply a little oil on the top to prevent it from drying out, then cover. Allow the dough to rest in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size. While that is going on, you may start cooking the curry.
Making the Curry: In a pan, heat the oil and then add the fennel seeds. When they're sizzling, add the onions. When the onions have softened, add the cut potatoes, carrots, and beans. After a few minutes, add the tomato and salt, cover, and cook on low until the vegetables are tender. Then, add all of the spice powders, ketchup, cashew paste, and a splash of water. Cook until thick and creamy before turning off the heat and letting it cool.
Assembling and Frying: Punch down the dough and form it into six balls. Flatten each one, add some curry to the center, and carefully seal from all sides to form a bun. Dip each bun in a thin cornflour slurry, then coat with breadcrumbs and deep fry in hot oil until golden and crispy on both sides. Drain on paper and serve warm.
