Thick leftover curry is perfect for Karē Pan filling!
I recommend this Keema Curry :)

Yaki Karē Pan (Baked Japanese Curry Bread)
Difficulty: Medium
Time: 90min-120min
Number of servings: 8
Ingredients:
200g (7.0oz.) bread flour
20g (0.7oz.) butter
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. dry yeast
100ml warm water *30C/86F
20g (0.7oz.) beaten egg
1/2 tsp. salt
A
* 150g (5.3oz.) leftover curry *retort-packed one is OK
* 1 chopped boiled egg
* 25g (0.9oz.) pizza cheese
4 sausages
beaten egg
Panko (bread crumbs)
olive oil if you like
Directions:
((Kneading))
1. You want all the ingredients at room temperature.
2. Mix warm water, salt and beaten egg together.
3. In a large bowl, place bread flour, butter, sugar, and dry yeast. Keep the dry yeast away from butter as the salt (in the butter) will kill the dry yeast.
4. Gradually mix in the warm water mixture. Use your hand to mix together until formed.
5. Transfer the dough to the counter, stretch the dough for a few times using your palms, fold it in half, turn it around (90C), and stretch again. Repeat and knead until smooth, without adding any extra flour for 10-15 minutes). The dough should be very elastic which when stretched becomes almost translucent.
((1st Proving / Proofing / Rising))
6. Lightly oil a large bowl. Form the dough into a ball and place it in the bowl seam side down. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (to keep the surface of the dough from drying out), and leave to proof in a warm place (30C/86F) for 30-60 min or until it has doubled or tripled in size. (In winter, you can use the proof function on your home oven!)
((Finger Test))
7. Coat your finger in flour and poke the dough. If the hole stays, it's ready. If the dough springs back, it needs to proof more. If the dough shrinks, it is over proofed. In this case, you'd better flatten out and make a pizza…
((Knock-Back & Bench Time / Resting))
8. Place the dough onto a floured surface and punch out the air with your palm.
9. Divide it into 8 equal pieces using a bench scraper or a knife. Quickly form them into balls.
10. Place them on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap (to keep the surface of the dough from drying out), and rest for 10 minutes. The dough is surprised because you punched, so please let them rest for a while before you start shaping.
---Up to here, please watch the Burger Buns video (0:30-2:49)---
((Shaping))
11. Cut sausages in half diagonally. Mix A very well. If the curry is too runny, simmer it down until it becomes thick, then cool completely before you use.
12. Flatten out the dough with your hand. Place the curry mixture and sausage, pull and pinch the dough to seal like making a dumpling. Make sure you don't pinch it with curry, otherwise it won't stick together.
13. Dip in beaten egg, and coat with Panko.
((2nd Proving / Proofing / Rising))
14. Place rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap (to keep the surface of the dough from drying out), and leave to proof in a warm place (30C/86F) for 20-30 min or until they have doubled in size. (In winter, you can use the proof function on your home oven!)
15. Preheat the oven to 200C (392F).
((Baking))
16. Sprinkle with olive oil if you like.
17. Bake at 200C (392F) for about 10 minutes. OR Deep fry in oil at 170C (338F) for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
* To keep the surface of the dough from drying out, a wet towel is okay but plastic wrap is easier!
* This recipe is for 8, so make 4 Kare Pan and 4 Ham and Corn Buns to enjoy 2 flavors at once!
