  • Gradually add the lukewarm water while mixing to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. This develops the gluten, resulting in softer buns.

  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

  • Seal the dough around the kebab to form a bun. Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brushed with olive oil. Let them rise for another 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Brush the risen buns with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • 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 for a fragrant, savory finish.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, let the baked buns cool on a wire rack uncovered instead of wrapping them in a cloth.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the Shikampuri kebabs with spiced mashed potatoes, green peas, and paneer, seasoned with garam masala and fresh coriander.
  • For a visually appealing touch and added crunch, sprinkle sesame or nigella seeds on top of the buns before baking.

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, try using milk or buttermilk instead of water when making the bun dough.
  • Ensure the Shikampuri kebabs are cooked thoroughly before filling the buns to prevent any food safety issues.
  • To assemble the buns neatly, cut them horizontally and spread a layer of chutney or your favorite sauce before adding the kebab and other fillings.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover Shikampuri kebabs and buns separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the kebabs in a pan or microwave before assembling the buns again.
