Veg Suji Buns recipe with step by step photo – Suji Veg Buns is an ideal children’s lunch box item that’s easy to make, very delicious and highly nutritious for breakfast. This is one of those recipes in which you can sneak in all the veggies your children refuse to eat in regular sabzi. It is ideally a burger and pav bhaji fusion that is made with a suji or semolina base filling with lots of vegetables. I have used carrot, capsicum and French beans in it, you can use shredded and blanched spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini even banana flower if you like. You can also add some spring onions and/or garlic leeks to add some crunch. Crunchy vegetables add more fun to this dish.
I am also using Mozzarella cheese and oregano, which gives this a pizza flavour, much like the “Burger Pizza” item from Dominoes. If you don’t have Mozzarella, you just top it with an Amul cheese slice to make it tastier. Serve this with lehsun ki chutney or tomato sauce.
And, trust me, it’s tested and proven! The thick layer of cheese and the semolina’s own taste will dominate individual tastes of any disliked vegetables. Cheese is an all-time favourite of kids, and this recipe is sure to win you repeated days of emptied lunch boxes. You can also play with the sauces and spice mixes and customize according to what you think your children and loved ones would prefer.
I have also made some more bread recipes such as Bread Uttapam, Bread Idli, Bread Dhokla Sandwich, Bread Rasmalai.
Even though this is an easy to make the recipe, there is one step you should be extra careful with, this is the step when you place the suji buns into the pan, over the melting butter. Frozen butter takes a few seconds to melt, and can start burning if you don’t hurry up. So put the butter in the pan only when you are completely ready with the buns. Be generous with the butter, as you will need enough to properly cook the semolina, otherwise it will stick. For 2 buns, scoop in about 30gms of butter, that’s rough, 1 and ½ teaspoon. Put more from the sides if it gets absorbed.
I have used wheat flour buns of good quality. You can use any bun as you please; however, you need to understand that if the bun is stale or crumbly, then it will not as enjoyable, you need fresh and spongy buns. So its better you use it with fresh buns.
The buns are best enjoyed when warm. So if you are packing it in lunch boxes, then an ideal thing to do would be to wrap them in foil, as it will keep the buns fresh, and conserves the warmth for longer.
