Vetkoek with Curried Mince

Step by stepInstructions

1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl, then add the warm water and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
2. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes, until doubled.
3. Meanwhile, make the filling: heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet and cook the onion until soft. Add the garlic and curry powder and stir 1 minute.
4. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Stir in the tomato, salt, and stock, and simmer 10 minutes until thick. Set aside.
5. Heat the frying oil in a deep pot to 350 F. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 balls.
6. Flatten each ball into a 3-inch round and fry in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until deep golden and cooked through.
7. Drain on paper towels, split each vetkoek open, and fill generously with the curried mince.
