These dinner rolls are perfect for making classic Indian street foods like pav bhaji, missal pav, keema pav, dabeli etc. However, you can also serve them with soups
You can make rolls ahead of time. Refrigerate dough before second rise (even overnight) and then bring them to room temperature before baking. Proof the rolls for 30 minutes, brush with milk and bake. You can also freeze the balls before second rise for about a month.
Store these rolls in ziplock bags at room temperature for about 2 days. You can also store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Substitute all purpose (plain) flour with bread flour if you like. The former gives you a soft tender texture while the latter has a strong crumb and chewy texture.
For well browned rolls, you can substitute milk with egg
