Stuffed Buns

Who can resist warm Dinner rolls (Pav bread), fresh from the oven????  A dinner roll is small and served as a meal accomplishment.

Vada Pav, sometimes spelled Wada pav or Vada Paav or Vada Pao, is a vegetarian fast food dish native to the Indian State of Maharashtra, consisting of a potato fritter in a bread bun.

It originated as cheap street food in Mumbai, but is now offered in stalls and restaurants throughout India.

It is also called Mumbai’s very own burger. It is served with hot and spicy garlic chutney and green chilies. Grab a quick vada pav and steaming hot cup of tea in rainy and cold days…… feels like you are in heaven. They are excellent fresh from the oven.

Here we will make Vada and Pav, in one recipe!!!!

How does it sound?

I tried preparing Vada Pav in a different way and it came out super delicious. Filled Vada stuffing in Pav dough while baking, named it as Stuffed Bun.

These Stuffed Buns are so soft and tender. Perfect for the picnic, on the go, lunch box as you don’t have to carry many things along and very handy to eat.

You can stuff Buns with many different ingredients like paneer, mix vegetable or with rajma.

Even beginner-level bakers will have no trouble making these Stuffed Buns. It is very easy to make.
