Khara Bun/Spicy Bun/ Baps from Iyengar's Bakery
Hi friends, I come today with some baking!!, As I have already told you about my Baking passion and the root cause of my baking in my Sweet bread/Milk bread recipe, I had to make again a long distance call to my cousin and to get this recipe!!, He was laughing his heart out and told when I go to India on my next visit he said he wants me in the bakery for a week so he would teach me about tips and tricks on Indian Baking, may be I should call it, Iyengar Bakery Baking!!.
When zora of Bread Baking Day (BBD) announced the #28 BBD, this month hosted by Tangerine's kitchen and her theme was Bread Buns, I knew what I was going to do. Last time i missed the latino breads this time I did not want to give up, so here is my Bread Bun. Hope she likes it!! This is my Dad's favourite Bun/Bap what ever you want to call it, when ever I would say I am in the Bakery what do you want, he would say get Khara Bun for me please, My cousins when I visit them in their bakeries they always pack a couple of Khara Buns for my Dad!!, I still have to call and tell him that I could make these!!, so how do you think I came into doing this, around 2 years back, I had tried, but then I never asked how it was made, and I just assumed, even though I wasn't 100% right, like I fried the onions before adding them to the buns, that was one mistake I had made, otherwise I was quite nearby but never added so much sugar, talking to my cousins, I rectified all those and it was a great achievement, I have made palya bun/Potato bun many times (I have never posted them still!!!), some day soon I will post them soon, it was a big at home, I made 10 Buns actually out of this dough, I baked and had gone out, when I came back their was only 3 left, my kids apologised and said sorry mum we didn't take any photos but they were so delicious we just ate them!!, Today my hubby called me from work and asked, what was it I made, and I said it was khara bun!! he is not keen on breads and buns, I have never seen him eat one, I think he eats palya bun just because it has potatoes in it!!, well coming back to it, he said he took 2 of them to office and gave it to his friends and they also just loved it, actually it was quite spicy but my kids loved it. So here comes my recipe. I had only two left for my super clicks!! KHARA BUN/SPICY BUN/SPICY BAPS  INGREDIENTS: 650 gms All Purpose Flours 10 gms salt 50 gms Sugar 75 gms oil 7gms yeast 1/4 cup cleaned washed and dried herbs of your choice (I have used fresh coriander leaves, curry leaves, dill leaves) 1 medium sized onion 2 to 3 green chillies 1/2 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp pepper powder 1 & 1/4 Cup to 1 & 1/2 Cup of warm water METHOD: First of all take yeast in a large mixing bowl add 2 tbsp of warm water (note it should not be too warm, this kills the yeast) with a tsp of sugar and leave it in a warm place for few minutes it starts to frothing up that means your yeast has started to work and it is live, Mean while when the yeast is in the process take a medium sized onion, green chillies and herbs (which should be cleaned, washed and dried with the help of a kitchen paper so that their is no water content) chopped finely and kept ready. Sift All purpose flour, the spices powders and salt and mix them well with the help of a sieve, then mix the chopped ingredients well together in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre pour the yeast liquid and oil into it and mix well then add warm water little by little making into a dough Knead this dough lightly and then cover with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until it is double in size. Once it is rised turn it out into a lightly floured work surface and divide the dough into portions as how big or how small you want, flatten them a bit and leave them on a greased and floured baking sheet giving them enough space to rise and expand, again cover with an oiled cling film and leave them to prove in a warm place until well risen Meanwhile heat the oven to Gas mark 7/220 degrees/425 degree farenhiet, when you leave the dough for its second rise. Once they are proven take out the clingfilm and brush them with milk, press a bit in the centre of the buns to equalize the air bubbles and prevent any blistering on the top when they are baked Bake the baps between 20 to 25 minutes depending upon your oven, first after 10 minutes turn the Baking sheet and bake for another 10 this helps in the uniform baking of the buns. insert skewer and check if they are done, take them out and allow them to cool on a wire rack, They are now ready to be eaten with a hot cup of coffee, tea or with cheeses of your choice . Take an other look at my love Khara buns, and I wish to thank my cousins, krishna and Ram prasad for achieving this love buns.  Hope you too make these and enjoy, as I have told earlier in my sweet bread recipe, allow it to raise properly then only you will succeed. These Khara Buns/Spicy Buns I am sending to Tangerien's kitchen for her 28# BBD event and also this is yeast spotted, I am also sending this to champa's Bake-of-event.  related searches : Khara
