    The buns look so pretty wrapped in those leaves :) grinding your own flour sounds like bakers heaven. Happy Monday! xoxo

    The home ground flour makes a lot of difference in baking as well as cooking with it. Happy Monday to you too.

    What leaves are those? The buns are just as porous as we would with yeast! Very interesting recipe. Your mother has given us such a wonderful treat!

    @Lata, these are Gunda leaves, or Gumberry leaves. A tree mainly found in desserts areas. The fruit has a sap which resembles and act as gum. We make pickles with the fruit, have the recipe and pictures in my draft, shall post it once I reach Chennai.

  • sanjeeta kk (author) said:

    @Vidya, No these buns or Baatis don’t require yeast. They may not come out fluffy as the normal yeast buns, but are extremely scrumptious treat.

    Hi Sanjeeta,

    Thanks for the recipe and the great clicks.

    Quick question. Since I don’t have any kind of leaves at my disposal, can I bake them on a baking sheet ??

    Thanks again !!

    Mala

    @Mala, sure you can do the same in oven also. The leaves just impart a particular flavor to these buns.

  • Raji said:

    These are one of the most beautiful and flavourful buns I have seen…they do remind me of baati soaked in ghee..but this is a more healthier version that too with home ground aata…lovely Udaipur pictures, I too have been there once and am still smitten with its wonderful natural beauty along with the grand palace.
