and used as filling or side dish , and a famous

dish of Sri Lanka.

Here’s the link to seeni sambol:https://calinskitchen.com/2017/03/02/seeni-sambol-loaves/

I have posted seeni sambol buns before .

This one is with wheat flour, and a little all

purpose flour.

Soft and the texture was so good , that I have

decide to use only wheat flour henceforth.

Made tiny loaves too and it looked super cute .

I will be giving you the recipe only for the meat

dough which I made roughly ,and before I

forget let me get into the recipe

INGREDIENTS

3 cups wheat flour

3/4 cup all purpose flour

2 tsp active yeast

2 tsp. brown sugar

1 egg

2 tblsp. olive oil

3/4 tsp salt.

Warm water

1/2 cup milk /2 tbsp milk powder

METHOD

Take half cup of lukewarm water, add the yeast and sugar , and allow to ferment. Once you see the mixture foamy and proven double , get ready to make the dough.

Add the flours and mix together .Make a well in the centre , and mix in the egg,salt,the yeast mixture , and milk and mix well.Add warm water to make a soft dough ( don’t mind if it’s sticky) .Cover and rest till dough rises to double the size.

Next transfer the dough onto a floured board and knead for another 10 minutes. Let it double second time.

Divide the dough into portions you like .Roll out lightly , place the filling and make into shapes you like.

Pre heat oven to 200 degrees C . Brush the tops of the prepared buns with beaten egg or milk.

Bake for 20- 25 minutes.

This is a dumpling served at breakfast or as a snack .These type of kolukattai or dumplings

famous in the South Asian cuisine,can be made savoury and sweet too.Most kids love the

sweet dumplings.This recipe i’m going to share is, a  very healthy one.I would like to share

a few  notes on this miracle leaf.

Moringa or the Murungai keerai(tamil) is rich in antioxidants,Omega 3 fatty acids,and  has

high  alkalizing and purifying benefits.Moringa helps maintain skin,hair,eyes ,and overall

health.Moringa has 3 times iron of spinach .Including this in your diet will positively bring

changes you could clearly feel and see.You can include in soups,curries,chappathis , or a

side dish for rice.Will be posting more on this later.
