- Preparation: 90 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (215 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 45 g Flour, bread (strong)
- 1 g Yeast, active dry
- 15 g Milk, whole
- 5 g Butter, unsalted
- 40 g Pork, ground, raw
- 25 g Onions, raw
- 15 g Carrots, raw
- 20 g Potatoes, raw
- 3 g Curry powder
- 15 g Breadcrumbs, dry
- 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 15 g Vegetable oil
- 0.5 g Salt
Method
- Make a soft yeast dough with the bread flour, yeast, milk, butter and salt; knead well, cover and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
- Meanwhile, finely dice the onion, carrot and potato, and cook with the ground pork in a splash of oil until the meat is browned and cooked through (74 °C/165 °F).
- Stir in the curry powder and a little water and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape; cool completely.
- Punch down the dough, flatten into a disc, spoon the cooled curry filling into the centre, and gather and pinch the edges to seal into a bun.
- Dip the sealed bun in the beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
- Shallow-fry in the oil over medium heat, turning, for 4-6 minutes until deep golden on all sides.
- This makes 1 bun; multiply the ingredients by 6 for a full batch.
