Add the 1 cup of water to the browned beef. Bring to a simmer, then add the 2 curry blocks. Stir continuously until the curry blocks have completely dissolved and the mixture has thickened. The consistency should be thick enough to handle easily when rolling into dough.

Stir in the 1/2 cup of peas and carrots. Transfer the curry beef mixture to a container and allow it to cool completely in the refrigerator. This cooling step is crucial for the mixture to firm up and be manageable for stuffing.

Once the curry filling is thoroughly chilled, prepare your salt bread dough according to your preferred recipe. When you are ready to roll out individual portions of dough, take a small amount of the cooled curry mixture and roll it into a compact ball.
