Chicken filled buns, and sweet bun - Indian fusion recipe

WARNING : A very long and photo heavy post, if you are not into cooking and recipes, kindly avoid this post :) - Thank you.

Hello my cooking recipe followers, I am sharing the recipe of some buns these were requested by Sandy a long time ago, when I shared pictures of the buns on the card post.
Recipes take me awhile to post, as it takes a lot of time and proper planning, so I am kind of lazy to not post frequently.

But here it is:

Ingredients for buns:

3 cups all purpose/bread flour
1TBsp - active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water for the yeast
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 TBspn butter
2TBsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
2TBsp sugar

 utensils:
 a mixer - hand held/standing
big mixing bowl
scraper
baking sheet
baking tray/dish

Procedure:

1. Mix the yeast in the warm water and keep aside.
2. Prepare all the dry the ingredients in the bowl.

 

3. Add all the wet ingredients now, remember to beat the egg before you add.

 

  4. Use a mixer to make the dough.

 

  5. Your dough should be tacky, mix in the mixer for 5 mins and then transfer on counter top, flour it and knead using hands for another 3-4 mins. Greaset he same bowl and add the kneaded dough.

 

  6. Cover with a cling wrap and leave it in a warm place for an hour.

 

  

Now lets prepare the filling both chicken and sweet ones

 chicken filling Ingredients

  about 200gms minced chicken boneless

ginger garlic paste 1/2 tsp

red chili powder 1/4 tsp

turmeric - 1/4 tsp

salt to taste

coriander leaves optional

chopped onions 1 small

  1/2 TBsp oil

(For vegetable rolls, you need cauliflower, peas, carrots, cooked with the same spices in a similar fashion)

Procedure:

 1. heat oil in a pan and saute the onions till medium brown

2. add the chicken to the pan

 

  3. add all the spices, and mix well and cook till the chicken is done

it should be dry

 

 

Add coriander leaves  , your chicken filling is ready

 

 Sweet filling

preserved cherries/tutti frutti a handful 

condensed milk 1TBsp

sugar 2tsp

cardamom powder from 1 pod

dry/fresh grated coconut 1TBsp

Procedure:

Mix all ingredients and its ready

 

Now after an hour your dough should be risen well , and should look like this in the picture below

 Transfer it on a floured counter top, and use a scraper to cut the dough in equal parts, leaving out one big lump for the sweet bun, which is quite big.

 

  Tkae a spoon full of chicken filling nad fill in the dough and roll it

 

  

You can shape it the way you want

 

  

Arrange it on the baking dish lined with a baking sheet.

 

  

Now press down the big dough lump to flatten it up a bit and add all the sweet filling in it and roll it up nicely

 

Flatten it a bit after rolling to give a shape of a big bun.

You can make small buns too, just add a small amount of filling to the dough and roll into buns shapes.

 

Brush some butter after all the buns are shaped , this will prevent them from getting dry.

 

Cover with the cling wrap and leave it in a warm place for 45 minutes

 

Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius for 10 minutes and bake for 12- 14mins

brush with butter once out to keep the top moist

 

 

  

All ready - enjoy

 

 

 

  

Cut the big sweet bun like you would cut  a cake, and enjoy.

 

 

I hope you try it and let me know how it turned out. It is a well tried recipe and it had never gone wrong for me or people I had shared with.

Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate your kind  feedback :) Have a great day!

For my cards, I have used Skipping stones stamp provided by the blog hop sponsor, who is doing the fundraiser.
I have used the Dandelion wishes set here, the first card is pretty simple with just white base and front. I used some of the images from the set to create my design, and the sentiment is also from the same set. A monochromatic card, I am sure many of you like to send out monochromatic cards too for birthday ;)

The second one is a mixed media card. I used the stamps on a watercolor paper, the background is created first with some mother of pearl in gold, I used a cling wrap to splotch it around the card, and once it was dry I Sponged the backgroun in sunset tones using 5 different shade of distress inks.
I also added some water splatters, all the stamps are from the dandelion wishes from skippin stones.
A few rhine stones to finish off. The sentiment is added on a dark brown strip using white pigment ink, and it is from STAMplorations, I hope you like this one.

Good morning /day folks.
First of all a huge heartfelt thank you to all of you for wishing me to get better. I just want to let you all know that I am good now.
Actually my eyes are absolutely fine, it is the climate and other conditions which are effecting the focus and making the eyes tired. I really appreciate your thoughts :)
Yesterday I spent the day at Four Seasons Spa for a massage and facial, thanks to hubby who booked it for me :)  and after that relaxing session yesterday, I feel much better today.
In anyways I am giving myself much rest from the screen time, I should get rid of my phone for that..lol.

Ok I made a quick card yesterday night, actually I am back to crafting and have a handful of cards to share, will do slowly as and when.

This is a one layer card with just stamping, I used Altenew vintage rose and used shades of blue and green to stamp. The sentiment is from ME - water blooms. A few jewels to finish off.

HLS June CASE the Designer

Hello all, a new month and a new challenge at HLS CASE the Designer, and I am very happy to be the designer this month.

  We are sponsored by the HLS itself, and you are playing for a chance to win $15 discount to the shop.

The card I have for you is made using HLS - Mix Mash set. I started off with creating the bokeh using Lawn Fawn Hippo grey ink, white pigment ink, and also some silver embossed circles.
Once I was happy with the background, I stamped the freestyle florasl flower and leaves from Mama Elephant on vellum and embossed it using silver EP. Then colored using markers.
The sentiment is also from HLS, it is heat embossed on vellum in grey ink using clear EP, a few black and silver rhine stones to finish off the card.

As most of you know that I have been off card making and blogging because of my eyes problems, I am doing a short cut this time, I am really sorry to put one card for 2 DT inspirations. But this is also for my DT inspiration for ATSM  as well. We have all time favorite Anything Goes today, so join us with whatever you make.

We are sponsored by the Eureka stamps

The winner gets 3 digis.

I hope you find my card interesting to CASE it. I would be very honored if you join in for the fun.

Do stop by the HLS Challenge blog to see the CASE our talented DT came up with. Also by ATSM Challenge blog to see our DT creations.
