STUFFED BUNS / STUFFED MASALA BUNS
I had long time wish for trying out these stuffed buns/masala buns. When ever any of our blogger friends post stuffed buns, I always wish I could try it out and today is the day! I just followed the same recipe for the dough as my pizza dough…Stuffing also of our own choice/imagination.
INGREDIENTS
For the Dough
| Maida/All purpose flour | 1 & 1/2 cups |
| Milk | 1/4 cup |
| water | 1/4 cup(add if more needed) |
| Active dry yeast | 3/4 tblsp |
| sugar | 1 tblsp |
| Salt | 3/4 tsp |
| Olive oil | 3 tblsp |
For stuffing:
| Potato | 2 nos. (small) |
| carrot/beans/peas(together) | 1/2 cup |
| Onion | 1 no. |
| Jeera or ajwain/omam | 1 tsp |
| Garam masala powder | 1/4 tsp |
| Red chilli powder | 1/4 tsp |
| Turmeric powder | 1/8 tsp |
| Coriander leaves & lemon Juice | As needed |
| Oil | 1 tsp |
| Salt | As needed |
Method:
- Warm the milk,add sugar to it and mix well. Add the yeast to it and mix well. Keep aside.
- Take flour and make a dent,add water,olive oil,salt in it and the yeast completely dissolved in the milk.

- Mix and make a smooth dough,keep in a warm place covered with a cling wrap for an hour.
- Meanwhile prepare the stuffing. Cook the vegetables and heat a pan with oil,season with jeera/ajwain,add the onion and fry till transparent.
- Add the masala powder,red chilli powder,turmeric and salt and give it a quick stir.
- Add the cooked,mashed vegetables and fry till everything mixes well.
- Remove from fire and add the coriander leaves and lemon juice if desired,mix well.
- By now/after an hour, the dough we prepared would have doubled in size. Take it again and just give it a gentle knead and make six equal sized balls.
- Line a baking tray with aluminium foil,grease with olive oil and arrange the rolled balls with enough spacing between them. Brush with olive oil .
- Meanwhile roll the stuffing after cooling down completely.The stuffing should be around half the size as we roll the buns.
- After 10 minutes or so the rolled bun dough, would have raised again ( may be I can say little) .
- Take each bun and make a dent in the middle.
- Keep the rolled stuffing inside and pinch all the end towards centre to cover the stuffing.
- Roll in to smooth bun. Repeat for every bun. Arrange them in the lined baking tray. Keep the pinched joined side down.Brush them well with olive oil.
- Preheat the oven for 190°C. When the preheat is finished,by the time the buns would have raised too(refer the picture below).
- Bake for 17- 20 mins or until the top crust turns golden brown in colour. (Mine took exactly 19 mins) Smells heavenly!!
- After finished baking,brush them with butter or oil and enjoy with tea/evening snack! This would be a great snack for kids after they come back from school!

semaya vandhirukku raji. awesome!!! :)
bookmarked for this weekend. tell me this, after the first rolling, will the dough double in size in 10 mins? before the stuffing step, that is.
fantastic, nothing better than a home made one anyday....looks too good raks,loved the filling as well
Nags Dint noticed exactly,but how much ever it raises thats enough if you keep for 10 mins ;) Will edit in post too...but will raise as I have shown in the second 10 mins, i.e ; after stuffing step- cant say double right?
Looks gud....Am sure warm buns would be very tasty...can smell the aroma here

Dhanam, Thanks so much for the feedback :)
Looks wonderful... Maybe too ambitious - but I would love to try this...
Hey exactly I use same pizza dough for making buns some time ..I love it a lot. And some time wheat dough for making buns which is more healthier. And I need not say anything abt ur finish, ur step pictures and also the photos. Anytime everytime it comes out neat and good right Raji... But really wish I could drop in ur place if i was there.
Raji One small suggestion just brush milk or little cream before baking to get nice shiny golden color on top of the bun and sprinkle little sesame seeds, I do it with egg since u dont I told this dear.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!! All I can say for this pretty, chubby looking bun is "You are cuteeeee as your maker" :D
WOw what a perfect dish the buns came out perfect love it.Will give a try.
looks so nice raji, thanks for trying..and please send me some too :)
They look gorgeous dear....nicely baked one's...I love masala buns especially the palya bun which we get in bangalore....
pavi, Ya I did the same for my garlic buns(brushed with milk) this time I dint do coz I used milk to knead,but I think as u have said,brushing with milk make the outer crust look nice colour,will keep that in mind :)
Hi Raji,
I have been a silent visitor for quite sometime. I've to tell you this, you are at the top of my blog visit list. All your recipes are simple, easy to follow and the best of all, your clicks...they make people or me at least drool over and I can't wait to try them at home. I was looking at pics of these kind of stuffed buns on others blog and wanting to the make them at home for quite some time. But when you do it, it pushes me to the edge and I can't wait any longer. Stepwise pics, instructions and your snaps inspire me a lot to go to my kitchen right when I read any of your posts
Keep up the awesome work...

Hello, I live in Botswana. My hometown is Bangalore. When we were young we used to relish on potato buns on our way home from school. I was actually thinking to make this from a long time and finally I did so. A special thanks to for the step by step recipe. It came out wonderful and tasted very good. A wonderfully executed recipe
awesome! Looks really yummy. Thank you so much for sharing. Im now a great fan of your blog.
Best,
Suma
hey Raji am gonna try this recipe today . would update u !!!
Hi Raks bun turned out really good
but I added less salt and i baked it in convection mode for 25 minutes and then put under grill for 5 minuted. but the buns did nt brown on the top. it looked plain white in colour.
what should ve been done ?
what should i do when I bake nbext time ?
can i refrigerate the dough and use the other day ?
many thanks
I never thought stuffed buns are made so easily
and without ur step by step instructions my buns would ve turned disasterous
Tried this stuffed bun too...took your dough recipe n made both sweet n savory version...gobi stuffed buns n coconut stuffed buns(to be blogged soon)..,thank you so much for the wonderful recipes...and I have some more to try from here :)
Thank you n keep up the great work !!
Thank you Sangee :)
awesome...i will try it this weekend..and let u know the feedback.
this looks awesome ! Only one thing I wanted to clarify is that after we let the buns rise for the 2nd time, shud we out in the stuffing? When does the milk wash come in?
