Assemble the Buns
Second Rise and Bake
Cool and Serve
Replace the chicken mince with 250g of crumbled paneer or a mixture of finely chopped vegetables like carrots, peas, beans, and potatoes. Sauté with the same spices.
Substitute up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour (atta) for a more fibrous bun. You may need to add a little extra milk as whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid.
Add a small cube of mozzarella or processed cheese in the center of the filling before sealing the buns for a gooey, cheesy surprise.
Instead of sesame seeds, try topping the buns with nigella seeds (kalonji), poppy seeds, or rolled oats before baking.
The chicken filling provides high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle building, tissue repair, and overall body function.
The carbohydrates from the flour in the buns are a primary source of energy, making this a satisfying and energizing snack.
Each Stuffed Chicken Bun contains approximately 280-320 calories, depending on the exact size and ingredients used. This is an estimate and can vary.
Stuffed Chicken Buns can be part of a balanced diet. They provide a good amount of protein from the chicken. However, they are made with refined flour (maida), which is low in fiber. They are best enjoyed in moderation as a treat or snack.
There are a few common reasons for dough not rising. Your yeast might be expired, the milk could have been too hot (killing the yeast), or the room was too cold. Always check the yeast's expiry date and ensure your liquid is just lukewarm.
Yes. You can bake the buns completely, let them cool, and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a microwave or oven before serving.
Absolutely. You can freeze them either before or after baking. To freeze unbaked buns, assemble them and place them on a tray in the freezer until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw and let them complete their second rise before baking. Baked buns can be frozen and reheated directly from frozen in an oven at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes.
