Stuffed Chicken Masala Bun

Sometimes when we think about snacks, we get all kinds of snack ideas into our mind. Here in this recipe, I am introducing you to a mouth watering snack, Stuffed Chicken Masala bun. These buns are best enjoyed if they are made at home.

Though it is little time consuming to make but the taste and crunchiness is worth the effort. This is a perfect snack for kids when they come back from school.

Baking with yeast will be a real headache for most of us, but using a perfect yeast like the active one will yield good results. Stuffed buns can be made with different varieties of stuffing.
I saw masala stuffed buns from Rak’s kitchen and was very sure that I am going to try this and instead of vegetables, I added boneless chicken pieces. These can be served as a breakfast dish, a lunch box item or an evening snack. In whichever way you want, this is a perfect treat to eat at any time of the day.
