Khara Buns

I love the soft,fluffy spicy khara buns we get in local bakeries in Bangalore..A very soft and fluffy buns with onion,cilantro leaves are my absolute favorite.These buns were in my to do list for a long time and recently I read a very doable recipe in a magazine.I tried it immediately with few changes.We loved it so much,it made a very nice dinner.I made it whole wheat instead of maida,though it was a little bit on a harder side it was very very tasty.Hope you will try it :)
