#TH - Semolina Bun is soft and spongy. It is shaped like a bun, hence the name. It is prepared in a tadka pan. However, it can also be prepared in a small wok pan or an appe pan. A tempering of mustard seeds, urad dal, asafoetida, onion, curry leaves and green chilies are added to the batter. It is a very quick recipe that can be dished out in a jiffy.
