Method:

Melt butter in milk either on stove top or in a microwave and set aside.

Heat 1/3 cup of water to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit and add yeast and sugar and set aside to activate.

Meanwhile, mix flour and salt.

Once the yeast is activated (foamy), add it to the flour along with milk and melted butter and knead into a soft dough.

Add extra flour if needed and knead until everything comes together and forms a soft dough.

Place it in a greased bowl and let it sit in a warm spot in your kitchen to double in size which may take approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make the curry, heat oil in a pan and saute onion and garlic until translucent, next add in all the vegetables one by one and saute. Add salt and the curry powder along with some water, next add the washed and soaked soya nuggets, you can even shred them.

Mix everything together and cook until there no water left.

Let it cool enough to handle before you use it for the stuffing.

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide into 12 portions.

Roll out each portion into a disc and stuff a spoonfull of filling and seal the ends to form either a stuffed dinner roll or fold the disc in half and seal the edges.

Dip each of these buns in egg and coat them with bread crumbs and place them on a greased baking sheet to doube in size.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farenhiet and bake them for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown in color.

Note:

The baking time may vary based on the type of oven you use.
