I love Japanese curry bread or Kare Pan as it is traditionally called. Sometimes I am in such a rush to taste these delicious buns that I make a pot and freeze it so that I can quickly make the buns without having to wait for the delicious filling to cool down. They are that good! I hope you enjoy this recipe and share it with someone who wants to try something new.

1 grated apple

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 box curry roux

Dinner roll dough (frozen or tube will do)

2 Eggs

Panko Bread Crumbs

For preparing the dough and filling the curry buns; Instructables has a very good explanation with helpful pictures to help you fill the curry buns. .

Their instructions includes steps for baking the buns which turns out delicious, but frying them makes them more delicious in my opinion. So after you prepare your buns you will want to fill a pot with 1-1/2 inches of oil and fry the buns until golden brown and enjoy.
