🍞 Instructions 1. Prepare the Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, combine lukewarm milk, instant yeast, and sugar. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes (if not using instant yeast).
2. Add 1 tsp salt and 1 egg. Mix again.
3. Add 1/4 cup oil and 3 cups of all-purpose flour.
4. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Add a little more flour if needed.
5. Knead for 5–8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
6. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, coat the dough well, and cover it. Let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours or until doubled in size.

1. Salt

5. 1 1/2 tsp coriander powder
6. 1/2 tsp garam masala

9. Heat oil in a pan. Sauté chopped onion and tomato with a pinch of salt until soft.
10. Add the marinated paneer. Add 1 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp pepper powder, and more salt if needed.
11. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until paneer is cooked and mixture is dry.
12. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Set aside to cool.

3. Shape and Fill the Buns

1. Once dough has risen, punch it down and knead again briefly.
2. Divide into 8 equal balls.
3. Flatten each ball into an oval or circle, place a spoonful of stuffing on one end, and roll up. Seal the edges.
4. Repeat for all buns.

4. Bake the Buns

1. Place buns on a greased or parchment-lined tray.
2. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle white and black sesame seeds.
