Whole wheat buns with potato stuffing
Ingredients
for the bun
May is the month
Of sunshine and Flowers
Birds in their nests,
And one or two showers.
Games to play and kites to fly
Or just looking at the sky.
We could spend a year this way
If the year were made of May...

Instructions
1.Take
a big mixing bowl, stir sugar and lukewarm water and yeast and keep aside for a few minutes. The yeast will froth up with bubbles in a few minutes. If that does not happen, the yeast is not good. Discard and begin afresh.
2. To the frothy yeast mix, add the wholewheat flour, and lukewarm milk and give it a good stir. Add the garlic powder ,chilli flakes ,coriander leaves etc if using. I picked up a red onion powder while doing grocery shopping last week. While adding, it gave a very promising whiff of flavour but could not be detected in the final product. I used onion powder and chilli flakes, you can use flavours of your choice or leave it as it is. Add salt and more lukewarm milk if the dough feels tight. Add olive oil and knead for another five minutes. Keep this dough covered, in a greased bowl for an hour to double up.
3. For the stuffing, heat oil in a wok on fire. To the hot oil, add cumin seeds and asoefetida. Once the cumin starts crackling, add onions and cook till soft. Add ginger, chilli, coriander powder and garam masala. Let it fry for a couple of minutes and then add salt. Follow it up with Potatoes, carrot and peas. Mix till there is no moisture and all the flavours are well combined.Take it off the heat and cool for later use
4. Take the dough out, gently deflate it with your hands. Shape the dough into a log and divide it into 12 pieces.
5. Take one piece,shape it into a disc with your hands, drop a spoonful of the stuffing in the mid. Bring all sides together to form into a ball.Do the same with rest of the pieces and place on a greased baking tray. Rest these for thirty minutes.
6. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees and bake the buns for roughly half an hour at the same temperature. Brush them with olive oil immediately after taking them out from the oven. Sprinkle some black pepper on the tops for an extra zing to the buns.
