After u have stuffed all the balls with the filling & reshaped into balls ,brush the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle the sesame seeds over it and set aside to rise for another 20-30 minutes.(If its cold weather u can preheat ur oven for 10 minutes around 160 C and off the oven and keep the baking trays with buns inside it to rise for the second time]
After 20- 30 minutes brush again with the egg wash & bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes at 180 C.Mine took exactly 16 minutes. This may vary depending on the type of oven you use.
For the filling
You can use any left over chicken curry shredded or cheddar/ mozzerella cheese chunks.
If you are using cheese just spice it up with little Chilli flakes,pepper,salt and dried parsley/oregano.

Gravy from the curry-1/2 cup

Garamasala-1/4 tsp
Now add the shredded left over chicken and 1/4 cup water sothat the chicken absorbs the masalas.cook till all the water dries up. This is your filling for the buns.Let this cool completely before stuffing into the buns.
