Gather @all-purpose flour{500%g}, @dry yeast{2%tsp}, @ground beef{500%g} and @sunflower oil{500%ml}.

Mix the flour, yeast and @sugar{1%tbsp} with warm water into a soft, slightly sticky dough; knead until smooth.

Cover and let the dough rise somewhere warm until doubled, about 1 hour. ~{1%hours}

Meanwhile, cook the mince with the @onion{1}, @carrot{1} and @curry powder{1%tbsp} over medium heat, breaking up the meat, until cooked through and reduced to a thick filling, about 15 minutes. ~{15%minutes}

Punch down the risen dough and divide into balls about the size of a small fist.

Heat the oil to 170°C and fry the dough balls in batches, turning, until deep gold outside and cooked through in the middle, about 6 minutes a batch. ~{6%minutes}

Split each vetkoek open while hot and overfill with the curried mince. Eat over a plate; gravity is involved.
