Baked Vada Pav
Soft yeasted maida buns stuffed with a lightly spiced mashed potato filling, brushed with milk and baked till golden - a healthier, oven-baked take on Mumbai's classic vada pav.
Ingredients
Main
- oil — 2 tsp (whole)
- mustard — 1 tsp (ground)
- All-purpose Flour — 2 cup (ground)
- Butter — 2 tbsp (whole)
- Milk — 2 tsp (whole)
- Turmeric Powder — 1 piece (ground)
- Coriander Leaves — 2 tbsp (chopped)
- green chillies — 1 piece (chopped)
- Potato — 180 g
- dry yeast — 1 tsp (whole)
- sugar — 1 tsp (whole)
Tempering
- Curry Leaves — 1 piece (ground)
Method
- Activate the dry yeast in warm milk with a pinch of the sugar. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add maida and salt to the yeast mixture and knead into a soft dough for about 10 minutes.
- Add the softened butter and knead for another 5 minutes until the dough turns smooth and elastic.
- Cover and rest the dough in a warm place for 2 hours, until it doubles in size.
- Meanwhile, boil and mash the potatoes. Heat a little oil, add mustard seeds and let them splutter, then add curry leaves, turmeric powder and chopped green chilli; saute briefly.
- Add the mashed potato, mix well, season with salt and cook for 2-3 minutes to make the aloo masala filling. Cool completely.
- Punch down the risen dough to release the air, knead briefly, and divide into 6 equal portions; shape each into a ball.
- Flatten each ball, place a portion of the aloo masala filling and a little dry garlic chutney at the centre, then seal the edges.
- Arrange the stuffed balls in a greased loaf tray, cover and rest for 1 hour.
- Brush the tops with milk and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes until golden.
- Allow the buns to cool completely before serving.
