Start Focussed Cooking Mode →

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Activate yeast by dissolving 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Add salt, garlic, red chili powder, and fenugreek leaves. Mix until salt dissolves.
  • Add flour gradually, kneading to form a soft, smooth dough using lukewarm water as needed. Cover and let rise for 40-60 minutes.

Shape and Cook the Buns

  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun and cover with a damp cloth.
  • Preheat a pressure cooker by adding 350g of salt to the bottom and leaving it to heat on low for 10-15 minutes. This creates a dry heat similar to an oven.
  • Grease a plate and arrange the buns on it. Carefully place the plate inside the preheated pressure cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 25-30 minutes, basting with oil halfway through. Do not use the whistle.
  • Remove from the cooker and let cool to room temperature.

Fill and Finish

  • Make two deep cross-shaped cuts on each bun. Fill with grated cheese and chopped spring onions.
  • Return buns to the preheated pressure cooker for 5-10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely. Check frequently to ensure the cheese is melted, but buns are not burnt.
  • Remove and serve warm.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or other Indian spices to the dough.
  • If your dough rises too quickly or slowly, adjust the amount of yeast accordingly.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese, such as paneer or mozzarella for a unique twist.
  • To make the buns even softer, brush them with melted butter after baking.
