These savory buns / dinner rolls are eggless and stuffed with a potato masala. I love the array of buns that you get in the bakery and always wanted to try it out myself.
I must confess I have been trying out baking with yeast for some time now and have had my share of failures. Honestly I was on the verge of giving it up for good when as a last try I decided to try these buns.
I was absolutely excited seeing these beautiful yeast buns finally getting baked..yay! These buns turned out delicious and with a hot cup of tea, it was a perfect snack.
