Method:
- Take a bowl, add 1 cup lukewarm milk, sugar and yeast, mix properly, cover and rest for 10 minutes to activate the yeast (wait until the bowl surface fully covered with froth).
- In a separate bowl add refined flour, salt, chilli flakes, olive oil, chopped fresh coriander and mix gently.
- Now add the yeast mixture and make a soft dough, can add some lukewarm water if needed.
- When you get a nice dough, gently knead it for approx. 5 minutes till it becomes smooth.
- Cover and keep aside the dough to rest for around 1-1.5 hour or till it doubles in volume.
- Masala:
- Take a pan and add oil or butter, when it becomes warm add cumin seeds and chopped green chillies.
- Then add turmeric, coarsely mashed potatoes, and all the spices and vegetables.
- Now mix and stir fry all for approx. 2 minutes, till everything blends and cooks well.
- Take out in a bowl and let it cool down completely.
- Take out the dough and punch down gently 2-3 times to remove the air.
- Now make equal sized balls from the dough (approx. 15)
- Grease your palms and flatten a bowl on your palm and place approx. 1.5 tsp mixture in the centre, pull and bring all the edges in the centre and seal the ball completely. Make a smooth and neat ball.
