Directions: Himachali Siddu Recipe: Steamed Buns With A Walnut Filling

STEP 1.In a bowl, add wheat flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Slowly add warm water and knead to make a soft, pliable dough. Drizzle in a little oil and knead again until smooth.
STEP 2.Cover the dough and let it rest for about 1 to 2 hours, or until it becomes visibly lighter and a bit puffy.
STEP 3.To prepare the filling, lightly roast the poppy seeds and walnuts separately. Crush them coarsely so that the filling has some texture.
STEP 4.Mix the crushed walnuts and poppy seeds with sattu, green chilli, ginger, cumin, coriander powder, red chilli powder, fresh coriander and salt. Add a little water to bind the mixture together.
STEP 5.Divide the risen dough into equal parts and roll each of them into a small disc. Put a portion of the filling in the centre, bringing the edges together and sealing everything well.
STEP 6.Shape each filled portion into a smooth, slightly flattened bun. Make sure there are no cracks or open edges, as the filling can spill out while you steam.
STEP 7.Arrange the filled siddus in a greased steamer, leaving some space between them. Steam for about 15 to 20 minutes until the dough is cooked through and feels firm to the touch.
STEP 8.Remove the siddus carefully and then let them rest for a couple of minutes. Brush them nicely with ghee just before serving.
STEP 9.Serve hot with dal or green chutney. The soft steamed bread works especially well with ghee and a spicy, tangy accompaniment.
