To make Focaccia Dough. place Warm Water, Dry Yeast and Sugar in a bowl, mix gently and set aside.
Combine Bread Flour, Baking Powder (*optional) and Salt in a large heat-proof bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture and Oil (OR Butter). Mix well to form a soft dough. Knead for 2 to 3 minutes, adding extra flour as required, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes (OR 1 hour if you have time).
Meanwhile, make Curry Filling. What you need is a thick curry mixture that is not runny.
Heat Oil in a saucepan, and cook Minced Meat and vegetables for a few minutes until vegetables are soft. Add Water and Curry Roux, and cook until the mixture is thick. Set aside to cool.
Divide the cooled Curry Filling into 8 even portions.
Turn the dough onto lightly floured surface and divide into 8 even portions. Roll out each portion into an oblong, place 1 portion of the Curry Filling, fold in half, pinch the edges to close completely. Place on baking paper, sealed side down, and set aside in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes.
If you want to coat them with Panko, roll them in lightly whisked Egg, then roll over ‘Panko’ to coat.
Deep-fry in medium hot Oil, just like frying doughnuts, until cooked through and golden brown. You can bake them in the oven at 200℃ for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Today I tried both methods. See the difference. Deep-fried ones taste much better.
