[Kar? pan] is a really popular food or snack in Japan. Kare means Curry. Pan means Bread. This is Meatmen’s version of Japanese Curry Bun.
Using ingredients which are readily available in your local supermarket, you can make this dish with ease anytime you want!
Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside and filled with savoury mild curry. This deep-fried bread is nothing like the curry puff pastry you have eaten in Singapore, the chewy dough compliments with the oozing of delicious curry when you take a bite.
