Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup diced potatoes.
02 - ½ cup diced carrots.
03 - ½ cup diced onions.
04 - ½ cup diced bell peppers.
05 - 2 tbsp curry powder.
06 - 1 cup vegetable stock.
07 - 2 tbsp flour (to thicken).
08 - 1 tbsp oil.
09 - Salt to taste.
10 - 3 cups all-purpose flour (for the dough).
11 - 1 tbsp sugar (for the dough).
12 - 1 tsp salt (for the dough).
13 - 2 tsp instant yeast (for the dough).
14 - 1 cup warm water (for the dough).
15 - 2 tbsp oil (for the dough).
16 - 1 cup breadcrumbs (for coating).
17 - ½ cup plant-based milk (for coating).

Instructions:

01 - Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions until translucent.
02 - Add diced carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers to the pan. Cook until slightly softened.
03 - Sprinkle curry powder over the vegetables and mix well. Add vegetable stock and simmer until the mixture thickens.
04 - Mix flour with a small amount of water to create a paste. Stir into the curry mixture to further thicken. Season with salt and let the filling cool.
05 - In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Gradually add warm water and oil, kneading until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
06 - Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
07 - Divide the dough into equal portions and flatten each into a circle. Place a spoonful of cooled curry filling in the center of each circle, seal the edges, and form into a ball.
08 - Dip each bun into plant-based milk, ensuring all sides are coated, then roll in breadcrumbs to fully cover.
09 - Heat oil in a pan for shallow frying. Fry the buns until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
10 - Serve the buns warm as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
