Ingredients

  • 1 cup wholewheat flour
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup lukewarm water approximately
  • 2 tbsp olive oil + more to brush.
  • FOR MASALA FILLING:
  • 2 medium potatoes 350 gm, boiled, peeled and mashed
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 2 green chillies minced
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp garam masala powder
  • A pinch amchoor powder
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
  • Bake at 180 degrees for 25 minutes

Instructions

  • Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the water slowly and knead to a smooth dough. Add the olive oil and knead to incorporate.
  • Transfer to a clean oiled bowl and allow it to double in size, around one hour.
  • In the meantime, we can prepare the filler. Heat oil in the saucepan and crackle the cumin.
  • Fry the ginger garlic paste and green chillies.
  • Add the mashed potatoes, sprinkle in all the spice powders and give it a good mix. Allow to cook on low flame for five minutes.
  • Mix in the coriander leaves, adjust salt and switch off. Allow to cool.
  • Once the dough has doubled, punch down and knead for another couple of minutes.
  • Grease a baking pan and set aside.
  • Divide the dough and the filling into six portions.
  • Slightly roll one dough portion into a circle. Spoon in one portion of the filling and shape into a bun. Place it on the greased pan.
  • Repeat with all the buns and filling.
  • Brush the top of the buns with some oil. Cover and allow it to proof for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until the top looks golden brown and is smooth to touch.
  • Pull out the buns and brush on the top with little more oil while still hot.
  • Serve warm with tea or soup!
