CHEESE, CHOCOLATE & CURRY BUNS

Yesterday, baked some buns/bread for breakfast and brought some to office to share with colleagues. This morning too, in between watching the English Premier League's football match between Chelsea & West Ham Utd, I started kneading the dough for yet again....bread/buns! Unlike yesterday when I sought the help of my trusted Kenwood mixer using the dough hook - (btw, I have yet to buy a Bread Machine/Maker); today, I used my two bare hands (it's been a long time since I used my hands to knead! ) to prepare the dough. I knead it for abt 8-10 minutes. My daughters love them so much! Here are some pics of the end-results.
