About Homemade Buns Stuffed With Licious Shikampuri Kebabs
The aroma of freshly baked buns instantly takes me back to the cherished Iyengar-style aloo buns, a nostalgic snack that pairs perfectly with a steaming cup of tea or filter coffee—my go-to comfort drinks. My journey into bread baking, however, was anything but smooth; countless attempts were met with stubborn yeast, tricky dough, and overbaked loaves. But then, a breakthrough! Nothing compares to the joy and unmistakable fragrance of homemade bread filling your kitchen, making store-bought loaves a thing of the past.
Inspired by Plattershare’s surprise featuring Licious Desi Marinates, I decided to elevate classic stuffed buns by filling them with succulent Shikampuri kebabs for the very first time. The result is a fusion delight—soft, fluffy buns enveloping spiced, savory kebabs, offering a unique twist on traditional homestyle baking. Experience the magic of fresh, homemade buns with a flavorful filling that promises to make every snack or brunch memorable.

Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, brush the tops of the buns with a mixture of melted butter and a pinch of chaat masala immediately after baking; this gives a fragrant, savory finish that complements the Shikampuri kebab filling.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, let the baked buns cool on a wire rack uncovered instead of wrapping them in a cloth, which helps maintain the outer crunch.
- To make a vegetarian version, substitute the Shikampuri kebabs with a filling of spiced mashed potatoes, green peas, and paneer, seasoned with garam masala and fresh coriander—perfect for those who enjoy classic Iyengar-style buns with a twist.
- For a visually appealing touch, sprinkle sesame or nigella seeds on top of the buns before baking; this not only adds crunch but also gives a bakery-style appearance.
