Step 1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef, breaking it apart, for 3-4 minutes. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add diced potato and carrot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Pour in water and add curry roux blocks. Stir until roux dissolves completely, then simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender and sauce thickens. Cool completely before assembling.
Step 4
Divide bread dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece flat, about 3mm thick.
Step 5
Place 2-3 tablespoons cooled curry filling in the center of each dough piece. Fold and seal edges tightly, forming a ball.
Step 6
Mix flour and water in a bowl to create a paste. Coat each bread ball with the flour paste, then roll in panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Step 7
Heat oil to 170°C (340°F) in a deep pot. Fry curry bread 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
