Vegetable curry is lighter and can be made with inexpensive ingredients.

Prepare the bread dough by mixing flour, water, yeast, sugar, and salt until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Cook the curry filling by sautéing onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.

Add diced carrot, potato, and curry paste to the pan; cook until vegetables are tender.

Stir in soy sauce and black pepper; let cool completely.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces.

Flatten each piece of dough and place a spoonful of curry filling in the center.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal tightly, shaping it into a ball.

Dip each ball in flour, then beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C) and fry the curry buns until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
