Furthermore, I would like to give some suggestions for making perfect spicy potato buns. Firstly, add dry yeast and sugar to the lukewarm water (about100 degrees F or 38 degrees C) and let it set for 5to 10 mins to activate. Lukewarm water is very important to this recipe to activate the yeast. If you use hot water, then it will kill the yeast. so try to use lukewarm water.

Secondly, knead the dough until smooth and silky. It will take 13 to 15 mins. If you don’t have the stand mixer, then you can also knead the dough by hand for about 15 to 20 mins or until it becomes soft and silky.

Finally, place the prepared buns in a warm spot for about 2 hours or until it has doubled in size. If you are a vegetarian, brush some milk over the dough instead of egg wash.

Serve these spicy potato buns with tomato ketchup or mint and sweet chutney.
