Potato Cheesy Buns

The buns are easy and tasty. I made these buns for a tea party with my friends they enjoyed these buns. My hubby too loved them. These are like the batata vada, but they are baked and healthy.

Ingredients

2.1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
21/4 Teaspoon Instant Yeast
3 Teaspoon Sugar
3 Teaspoon Butter
1.1/2 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 to 1 Cup Luke Warm Water
A Teaspoon of black sesame seeds (optional)

For the Filling

200 Grams Potato - boiled, peeled and mashed
2 Onions
1 Green Chilly
2 Tablespoon Coriander - finely chopped
1/4 Teaspoon Chilly powder
1/4 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
2 Tablespoon Oil
50 Grams Cheese - grated

Method

For the filling
Heat a oil in a pan, fry the onions till translucent, add the chilly and fry again then add the potato, chilly and turmeric powder, salt to taste and fry for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the coriander and the cheese and mix well. Keep aside to cool.

For the Dough:

In a bowl add flour, salt, sugar, butter, yeast and mix well. Add water to knead a soft and slightly sticky dough. On a counter, knead the dough for 10 minutes to make it soft, silky and smooth.

Place the dough in a clean and oiled bowl, keep it covered until double.

When the dough is double in volume, transfer it to counter and punch it down. Divide the dough into 10 equal parts.

Roll each ball with your plam and make it into a small puri add a tablespoon of filling and bring the egdes together and make into a ball . Seal the edges properly and by cupping it inside the palm and rolling it in circles until you get a smooth finish. Place the balls on a greased tray with enough place for rising.

Keep it covered with a towel until it has doubled. Preheat oven to 200C.

When the balls are ready, brush the top with milk and sprinkle sesame seeds.

Place the tray in the centre rack and bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden.

Rotate the tray in between to avoid burning of the corner buns and even browning. Remove the tray from oven and brush the buns with melted butter. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
