These light buns are made with a leavened dough. One the dough is doubled in size it’s divided and stuffed with a delicious ground Chicken Vindaloo filling. Vindaloo or Vindalho traditionally made with Pork is a favorite all over the world. A spicy blend of chillies, garlic, ginger, spices and vinegar makes up this popular blend. Pork is simmered in it traditionally but you can also make Chicken Vindaloo or Shrimp Vindaloo. To stuff the buns, I’m using ground Chicken.
