For how to make the curry bread dough, refer to 'Crispy & Fluffy Curry Bread with Delicious Filling' (ID:19461442) on cookpad.com.

The ideal oil temperature is about 320–340°F (160–170°C). Since high heat can make the oil too hot quickly, preheat the oil over medium-low heat. Using a thermometer is recommended.
- 3
Keep the oil at 320–340°F (160–170°C) by maintaining medium-low heat.
- 4
Gently slide the curry bread into the oil along the side of the skillet. At first, you’ll see lots of small bubbles around the dough.
- 5
Fry no more than 3 pieces at a time. If it’s your first time, start with just 2.
- 6
Flip the bread once right after adding it to the oil.
- 7
After flipping, the top will puff up quickly—don’t touch it at this point.
- 8
When the side in the oil starts to turn slightly golden, flip the bread again.
- 9
Tip: If the top puffs up but flattens right after flipping, hold it gently in place with tongs for a moment until it stays puffed.
- 10
Repeat flipping 2–3 more times as the side in the oil becomes a deeper golden brown than the top. The bread will gradually turn a beautiful golden color.
- 11
As the dough cooks through, you’ll notice fewer bubbles forming.
- 12
When there are almost no bubbles left, the bread is done. This takes about 6 minutes from when you add it to the oil.
- 13
Drain the bread well and transfer to a rack or tray.
- 14
Before frying the next batch, always remove any leftover breadcrumbs from the bottom of the skillet to prevent dark specks from sticking to the next pieces.
- 15
Note: The oil temperature will keep rising as it stays on the heat. If it gets too hot, turn off the heat for a while, then turn it back on when needed.
