MAKING THE BUN
- Make 20 balls out of the risen flour.
- (The other 5 balls can be made using the remaining dough after cutting)
- Roll out into circles, little bigger than a tea cup rim.
- The circle should be 1/2 inches thick.
- Fold it in half but don't press it down.
- Cut using half the cup. (Collect all the extra pieces to make more balls)
- Remove the extra bit.
- Apply some beaten egg yolk and some sesame.
- Bake it in 160 degrees for 15 minutes or till it turns golden brown.
- Remove from the tray and add a dab of butter in the hot buns.
- Now you can easily open the buns using your hands, you needn't cut them open.
ASSEMBLING
- Keep a piece of lettuce.
- Place 1 tbsp. of chicken filling inside.
- Then 1 tsp. of vegetable salad outside.
- Enjoy with ketchup.
- If you are serving kids, I think its better to put the vegetable filling inside and the chicken filling out. Some children try to take out the carrot and cabbage, and the result will be a messy place. So, lets put the vegetable filling inside.
