Steps

1

For this recipe, I used a 200g (about 3/4 cup) pack of store-bought curry.
2

Sift the flour into a small saucepan with the curry. Heat over medium, stirring until the mixture thickens enough to be wrapped. Remove from heat and let cool.
3

Add the bread flour, sugar, butter, egg and milk mixture, salt, and yeast to a bread machine (place yeast in the designated spot). Start the 'dough' course and let it complete the first rise.
4

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball, place seam side down, cover with a tightly wrung damp cloth, and let rest for 10 minutes.
5

While the dough rests, prepare two bowls: one with panko breadcrumbs, and one with water and a paper towel.
6

Wrap the curry filling in the dough.
7

You can shape them in the classic curry bread shape or make them round if you prefer.
8

Moisten the surface of each dough ball with water, coat evenly with panko, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9

Let rise for 40 minutes at 104°F (40°C) for the second proof.
10

Heat oil to 340°F (170°C). Fry the bread on both sides until golden brown.
11

Drain well. The white line comes out beautifully! Enjoy while hot.
