Curry Chicken Bread


This curry chicken bread is very famous among the Malaysians. There's one restaurant at Kampar town (in Perak state) selling this with different kind of fillings such as chili crab & herbal chicken. But still I prefer the flavourful curry chicken filling. I think it's just perfect to go along with the bread. I made this for our Sunday lunch! So, here's the recipe.
