Method

Prepare & ProveProof Dough

  1. Mix whole wheat flour, salt, yeast, and warm water to form a soft dough. Move SmartSwitch to Cooker Mode, select function ProveProof & place the dough in the combi pan. Slide the pan into Level 1 and set temperature at 35*C for or until doubled.

    Our tip The dough should be soft enough to dent easily with a finger. Whole wheat flour varies in how much water it takes, so if it feels stiff, work in more warm water a spoonful at a time.

Prepare Stuffing

  1. In a grinder jar, add walnuts, poppy seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, green chilli and salt. Roughly grind to prepare the stuffing. (Note - take a spoonful of this paste, add water into it & salt - use this as chutney to serve with siddu)

Shape Siddu

  1. Divide the dough and roll into thick discs. Place stuffing in the center, bring the edges together, and seal tightly like a stuffed bun. Gently flatten or shape into thick round/oval buns.

Setup for Steaming

  1. In a combi pan, add 240 ml1 cup water (200 ml¾ cup + 2 tbsp). Place the crisper plate over it and arrange the stuffed siddu on top.
  2. Move SmartSwitch to Cooker Mode, select Steam function and set time for to cook. Press start/stop button.

    Our tip They're done when the surface looks dry and springs back when pressed. If it still feels sticky, steam them a few minutes more.

  3. Serve hot with ghee or chutney.
