If you’re an anime or manga fan, you’ve probably seen scenes where students rush to the cafeteria at lunchtime, desperately trying to grab a coveted curry bread before it’s all gone. Some manga even describe Manga’s Curry Bread as a “great invention.” So, what makes this humble snack so irresistible? Why does Manga’s Curry Bread get so much attention in the world of manga?
Being a curry lover myself (in fact, I even named my dog Curry!), I couldn’t resist trying curry bread. But instead of baking from scratch, I opted for a quick version using simple toast. And let me tell you, it’s delicious! The crispy crust of the bread enhances the soft and savory curry filling inside, with just the right amount of sweetness that makes you savor every bite.

Quick and Easy Curry Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of thick toast (crusts removed)
- 1 serving of instant curry (or leftover curry from the night before)
- 1-2 tbsp of water (to seal the bread)
- 2 eggs (for egg wash)
- Bread crumbs for coating
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
1、Start by removing the crusts from 2 slices of thick toast.

2、Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread a bit, making it easier to fold and hold the curry filling.

3、Place a generous amount of curry (instant curry works great, or use leftovers) in the center of each slice of toast. Be sure to choose curry that’s rich in sauce but with fewer solid ingredients. This will help prevent the curry from spilling out when cooking.
4、Lightly brush the edges of the toast with a bit of water to help seal the edges.

5、Fold the bread in half to encase the curry and press down with chopsticks to seal the edges. Flip and press the other side as well.

6、Carefully pinch the edges together using your fingers to make sure the bread is sealed completely.

7、Beat 2 eggs and dip both sides of the bread in the egg wash.

8、Coat the bread with breadcrumbs, making sure it’s evenly covered.

9、Heat a small amount of oil in a pan (about a finger’s depth). Once the oil reaches around 180°C (350°F), fry the curry bread until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
