I'm back with a new recipe which you all like, which is fish buns
Although you may be knowing how to prepare it
Today i'm going to show you how to prepare it in the restaurant/bakery style
Let's see how to prepare it now
We need 500 g of plain flour
add 2 teaspoons of dry yeast
add 2 teaspoons of sugar
one teaspoon of salt
you can use milk powder for this
to make it soft
add 2 teaspoons of that
one tablespoon of butter/margarine
we need one egg, i will add that later
first mix it like this
Next, add the egg
add 1 tablespoon of oil
Keep some extra flour near you, if you need it
mix it now
We also need hot water
The temperature must be between 37-40 degrees
Make sure it's not too hot either
add it now
Don't put a lot of water at once
If it's sticky to your hand, add some extra flour
I will later show you how to mix this dough well
I'm going to add some flour to this surface
Keep the dough on it
And mix it well like this
Start from the outside of the dough and mix towards inside
Make sure it's not sticky
If it's too wet, add more flour
If you are in a warm country, it can get dry soon. So be careful
I have mixed it for about 10 minutes
If you see any cracks on this, that means it's too dry
Now it's perfect
The dough is very soft now
Add some flour to the bowl
Place the dough in it
Add some flour on top
and cover it with a cling wrap
Leave it aside for 2 hours
If you live in a warm country, it might be done soon
But if you live in a cold country, make sure to keep it in a warm place
Now it's ready to be used, as you can see
We need about 80-100 g of this for fish buns
We have to prepare balls out of this to fit that quantity
Apply some oil to your hands and make sure your hands are clean
I'm going to prepare 100 g balls now. You can measure it if you want
I'm doing it without measuring because I can guess the quantity
Make sure it's in a circular shape
Don't crush it
Place it on an oily platter
Don't forget to apply some oil on top
if not, it can get dry
you can use coconut or vegetable oil
Cover it with a cling wrap and keep it in a warm place
Place it aside for around 45 minutes to 1 hour
Meanwhile, let's prepare the fish bun filling
We need onions, garlic
leaks
mashed potato, tuna fish
Rampe (Pandan leaves), curry leaves, chillie pwoder, curry powder
turmeric powder
green chillies, cinnamon
Some crushed cardamon
pepper
Let's prepare it now
Let the oil get heated
and add the rampe (Pandan leaves)for it to smell nice
Onions and Garlic
Make sure you cook this in medium heat
add curry leaves
temper it a bit
now add green chillies
I'm going to add some extra leaks
Mix it well
Now i'm going to add the cardamon
It smells nice
Add chillie powder according to your taste
one teaspoon of curry powder
one teaspoon of turmeric powder
add around one or one and a half teaspoons of salt
be careful not to add too much
I'm going to lower the heat and add the tuna fish
I'm using the tin salmon
Mix it well
The potatoes are also in small pieces
add that now
Finally, I will add pepper
Pepper gives good taste and it's healthy too
Now the filling is done and the color looks great too
Now we can prepare the fish buns
The dough is done now
put some oil in your hands
You need a surface like this
You can also use a chopping board
I have placed a few on the surface now
Don't make it too thin either
Next, take some of the filling and place it in the middle
It's very easy to do
Hold the 3 edges and fold it like this
Flip it over
and put some slight pressure on the edge
So that gets lifted in the middle
After you do this, leave it aside again for about 30-45 minutes
Everything looks the same
Keep distance between one another in the tray
After that, beat an egg and apply it on top of each bun using a basting brush
after that, put it in the oven for 15 minutes at 175-180 degrees
Let's do that now
I'm going to apply the egg yolk now
Don't add any water
Now it's ready
You can test whether it's properly baked by tapping the back
If it's solid, it's baked well
Leave it on rack like this to cool it
It's very soft and looks yummy
Although this may take some time to make, it's very easy
You must be patient with the process
and get the temperature right
You can do all this within 2-2 1/2 hours
So do try it! Although you fail the first time, you will surely get it right the next time
