Spinach Cottage Cheese Stuffed Buns


These buns are inspired from Vaishalis blog which she got from Champa's blog. I bookmarked the recipe long back n today I tried it n they came out very well.I used a little different stuffing but the baking procedure is the same. We all enjoyed it these delicious buns with a cup of tea.

Ingredients:

For stuffing
  • 1.5 cup chopped palak (spinach)
  • 3/4 cup grated paneer (cottage cheese)
  • 1/2 boiled mashed potato
  • 1/4 chopped onions
  • 1 tsp kasuri methi(dry fenugreek leaves)
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp chat masala
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • salt to taste
For Buns
  • 1 n 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 n 3/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2 tbsp warm water
  • 2 tbsp oil

For greasing the buns
  • 1/2 tsp milk
  • 1 /2 tsp oil
Preparing the Stuffing
Heat oil in a pan add cumin seeds n when it splutter add chopped onions n when turns translucent add chopped spinach and cook for 2 min. Once it done add mashed potato mix it well n add all the powders along with salt n blend nicely n stir for 1 min.Add the dry fenugreek leaves n paneer n fry for one more min n your stuffing is ready. Let it cool to room temperature.

Making the Stuffed Buns

Step 1: Making the Dough

In a big bowl add yeast,sugar,salt n warm water let it sit for 10 min. It will become foamy. Then add oil n milk mix nicely. Then add flour slowly 1/2 cup at a time n stir with spatula. Then take it out of the bowl n on a lightly floured surface knead it for 5 min n then make it into a ball. Grease it with oil then put it in a bowl n cover with a damp cloth n let it sit for 1 hr.

After a hour or till the dough become double.Take it out n punch it in the center to take all the air out.Now divide the dough into six parts n shape it into six balls n let it sit for another 10 min.

Step 2 : Stuffing the Buns

Then take each ball n spread it on your left palm by pressing with ur right hand into a circle.Then put 1 tbsp of stuffing on it and enclose it by pulling the dough over it from all sides n shape it into a smooth ball. Put it in greased baking tray n let it sit for 45 min.Then grease each bun with milk n oil mixture n make it ready for baking.

Step 3: Baking

Preheat the oven at 350 F 15 min before baking n bake these buns for 15 min or till they golden brown.

Serving Procedure
Serve the buns once they cool or store them in a fridge reheat in microwave for 10 seconds n serve warm with a cup of tea.
