3 teaspoons instant dry yeast
2 tablespoons honey or pwd sugar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup roasted oats
1/2 cup boiled green peas
3 tsp pav bhaji masala
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Salt to taste
2 tsp Lemon juice

Instructions

In a small saucepan combine the soft butter, milk, and water. Set over low heat until the butter is melt or just warm to the touch. Stir in the yeast and honey.
In the bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Add the milk mixture and stir until combined. Knead, until the dough comes together in a smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky ball.
If the dough is unbearably sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. Avoid adding extra flour if possible, sticky is better than dense.
Remove the dough to a well-oiled bowl, turning to coat completely in oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and divide into the 9 rolls. Form each piece into a smooth tight ball by stretching the corners around the bottom and rolling between your palm and the counter.
Grease a 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Place each ball of dough in the dish and cover with plastic wrap or a muslin cloth. Let rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C.
Take 1/4 cup of milk and brush over the rolls. Sprinkle some oats. Bake the rolls for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
Bhaji :
Heat oil in a pan. Add onions, ginger, garlic, and green chillies and saute till golden brown. Add boiled vegetables, oats and stir well.
Stir in the pav bhaji masala, turmeric, tomatoes, capsicum and salt. Add slit green chillies and water and mix it well. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
Add lemon juice and serve with oat toasted pav.
