Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 300 milliliters Water
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 1 medium Potato, peeled and diced
• 100 grams Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 200 milliliters Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Allow the filling to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Gather the edges of the dough to encase the filling, pinching to seal. Place the buns seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 15 minutes.

Step 11

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
