Eggless Tutti Frutti Buns | Eggless Sweet Buns

I used to get Sweet buns whenever I go to Iyengar Bakery in chennai. I love the sweet puffs so much. The coconut with tutti frutti melt in the mouth and its a great feeling. As kids we love to eat Veg Puff which will be crunchy and spicy and more appetizing. Most of us prefer veg puff to sweet puff. But, when I attempted to make this Sweet Puff, its a surprise that all of my family loved it so much and I keep seeing them sneaking inside the pyrex where I stored the Eggless Tutti Frutti Buns and all of a sudden its empty 🙂 I’m so happy that even my husband who won’t take any bakery or sweets also loved it so much. Now I started making this at least once in couple of months. I don’t want to do make it so often that they lost interest in them :-).

There are 2 steps in making this Eggless Tutti Frutti Buns.

1. We need to prepare the dough and keep it aside for it to rise.
2. We need to prepare the filling. I used the desiccated coconut but we can use the freshly grated coconut too. We don’t actually need to cook the filling. But if the sugar crystals you use, is big, then I would like to add the coconut and sugar and heat it a while so that the sugar gets melted and combined with the coconut and then we can switch off the flame and add the tutti fruit and honey and give a good mix.

Making bun is same like making Paratha / Poli, except, that we don’t need to roll the bun again after filling. Also I would like to mention that we can make this same buns with whole wheat instead of maida. Maida / all purpose flour is generally used for any cakes/buns, but now most of us are cautious about calories, so if you want to avoid maida, use whole wheat flour or you can mix 1 portion of maida with 1 portion of all purpose flour.
