For the Vetkoek dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add lukewarm water while mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

For the mince filling: While the dough is rising, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the ground beef to the pan. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- 4
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth (or water), Worcestershire sauce, and curry powder. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.

Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven for frying to about 170-180ยฐC (340-350ยฐF). Carefully place 2-3 dough balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.

Fry the vetkoek for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Once slightly cooled, carefully cut a slit into the side of each vetkoek. Spoon the savory mince filling generously into the opening.

Serve warm.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ
- โEnsure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying; too cool and the vetkoek will be greasy, too hot and they will burn on the outside before cooking through.
- โDon't overcrowd the pot when frying; this lowers the oil temperature and can lead to uneven cooking.
- โThe mince filling can be made ahead of time and reheated.
