- Mix all of this together with a spoon into sticky dough.
- Then dust a clean surface with some all-purpose flour.
- Knead the sticky dough on the dusted surface for 7 to 10 minutes.

- Roll each piece into a round bun shape and place it onto the greased pan.
- Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for another one hour.

- The bun is ready to be served with Pav Bhaji or Vada Pav.
Note:
- After it has baked, light brush the top of the bun with some ghee for extra flavor (optional).
