I got so inspired to prepare this bun when my hubby was talking about the one we get in theater. So, I thought of giving him a surprise when he returns from the office. We used to have this with chocolate stuffing in India. This time thought of giving it a twist and ended up with this carrot, beetroot and dry fruits stuffing.
Thanks to Yummytummyaarthi.com for giving me the idea.
You can stuff anything as per your preference.
My hubby was over excited like a child when he saw me frying this for him. And of course, he enjoyed it. He asked me to prepare this more often and with the chocolate filling the next time. I am going to try my hands on that too.
I will make a quick draft of the recipe now.
