Replace the egg scramble with a filling of spiced mashed potatoes, crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese), or mixed vegetables.
For a denser, more rustic bun, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour (atta).
Increase the amount of green chilies or add a pinch of black pepper powder to the egg filling for extra heat.
For a lower-oil version, brush the stuffed buns with milk or melted butter and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Note that the texture will be different from the fried version.
The egg filling provides a good amount of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, immune function, and keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
Carbohydrates from the flour and natural sugars from the bananas offer a quick source of energy, making this a substantial snack or breakfast item.
Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, an important mineral and electrolyte that helps regulate blood pressure and heart function.

Yes, the dough needs to be prepared at least 8 hours in advance for fermentation. You can make it the night before you plan to fry the buns. After fermentation, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Oily buns are usually a result of the oil temperature being too low. If the oil is not hot enough, the buns will absorb oil instead of frying quickly. Also, overcrowding the pan can lower the oil temperature. Fry in small batches to maintain heat.
Yes, you can bake them for a healthier alternative. Place the stuffed buns on a baking sheet, brush with milk, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes. The texture will be more like a baked bread roll than the classic fluffy, fried bun.
