- Then punch down and knead again and keep aside the dough for 10 mins.
- After that divide the dough into two parts.and again keep for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile make the filling by gently roasting all the ingredients given in the section "Filling" in a pan with ghee.
- Allow this mixture to cool completely before palcing inside the dough.

Notes
---------
- Discard the milk yeast mixture if it does not become frothy. (if the yeast is not good the mixture wont turn frothy and the bun won't be softer).
- The milk should be slightly warm. (hot milk kills yeast)
- Do not forget to add little sugar to milk as it helps in fermentation
- keep a tray filled with water while baking as bun becomes soft and won't be dry.
- you can make the filling according to your taste. I didn't have tuti-fruity with me .So I haven't added them.
