Steps

1

In a bowl, pour in 1cup warm water, add yeast, salt, sugar, oil and flour. Mix everything together to form a soft dough. Cover and allow it to rises until it doubles its size. Meanwhile, make the filling.
2

Chop your scotch bonnets and onion. Add in cooked yam, curry, black pepper, coriander, thyme, salt and maggi. Chop/pound them together. Grease your hand with oil and mold the yam mixture into small balls(8 pieces or more).
3

When the dough rises, deflate the air and divide into 8 pieces. On a floured surface, take one piece and roll it out. Take one yam ball and roll it into a cylindrical shape, place at the center of the dough and apply water to the edges and seal.
4

Roll it gently to increase the length. Lightly brush all over the sealed edges with water and roll it into a swirl like shape. Flatten it a bit and place in a tray.
5

Repeat this process for the remaining balls and arrange in a baking tray. Leave to rise for 10-15mins until slightly puffed up. Apply your egg wash and sprinkle some chilli flakes.
6

Sprinkle some sesame seeds and bakefor 20 -40mins on medium temperature until golden brown. Serve and enjoy.
