To enjoy this beautiful day I have posted Bakery style Thengai bun recipe / Coconut bun which is a Indian delicacy that I got introduced to as I grew up in southern India (Coimbatore). This bun is one of my favourite recipes close to my heart and it evokes nostalgic feelings of eating coconut bun in late evenings as dusk sets in . The aroma of coconut bun hot from the bakery makes my mouth salivate and eating fresh, hot bun filled with coconut flakes, sugar, tutti frutti and nuts takes one immediately to a happy place that I still cherish. Coconut bun goes well with tea (black or green) and I just want to share this recipe with everyone as it is very simple to make and also delicious.

Notes
Here I used sweetened coconut flakes. If you don't have that. Use regular grated coconut, toast it in a medium flame and add extra sugar.
I used roasted cashews. If it is not available for you. Roast the cashews in ghee and add it to the stuffing.
I used instant yeast, if you don't have that. You can use any kind of yeast but proofing of yeast is must so add the yeast in warm milk for 5 mins and then add it to the flour.
Tutti frutti adds crunchy taste. If it is not available for you. Add lot of nuts and raisins.
Always add warm milk. Raw milk might kill the yeast.
Do not skip cardamom, as it adds nice flavor to the stuffing.
