Masala Buns

Ingredients:
For the dough:
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/2 tbsp Oil
1 1/2 tbsp Yeast
1 1/2 tbsp Sugar
3/4 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Boiling water
1/4 cup Milk
For the filling:
1 large Potato, washed and chopped finely
2 Onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp Capsicum, finely chopped
1 tbsp Carrot, finely chopped
1 tbsp Beans, finely chopped
1 tbsp Oil
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/4 tsp Asafoetida
1 tsp Chilli Powder
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Cumin-Coriander Powder
Salt to taste
For the Topping:
2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp Chilli flakes
1 tsp Sesame Seeds
For the dough:
Take a huge mixing bowl and place the oil, salt and sugar in it. Add boiling water and mix until the sugar
dissolves. Add the milk now to bring the mixture to room temperature. Add the yeast and mix well. Add the
flours and knead into a dough. Place the dough in a greased vessel and cover it with a damp muslin
cloth. Allow to rise until double in size (roughly 45-50 minutes).
Knead the dough for a minute and then divide into 10 equal portions.
For the filling:
Heat the oil; add the asafetida and cumin seeds. When the cumin crackles, add the chopped onions and
fry for a minute before adding the other vegetables, salt, chilli, turmeric and cumin-coriander powders.
Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Mix all the ingredients for the topping together.
To Proceed:
Take a portion of the dough and spread it on to your palm. Place some stuffing in the centre and bring the
edges and seal. Roll in the topping mixture and place on a greased baking sheet or tray. Repeat with the
other portions.
Allow to rise for 50-60 minutes and then bake in an oven at 400 F for 12-15 minutes.
