This is the ubiquitious pao of Mumbai. A fast food mainstay to be eaten with a lot of savories or in the old Irani restaurants would be eaten with a dollop of butter and chai.

If it looks like bread (smells like bread, tastes like bread) it must be bread! I went on Google to discover the mysteries of Indian bread rolls & there were none! :) They look yummy. Good with butter, jam & tea anywhere.
this is definitely pao, in Malaysia we have different fillings inside them ,some are sweet( bean paste, coconut, peanut...) and savory ones (meat or veggie). Yummy!
I could use some of that right about now. I'm hungry! I deliberately avoided Asha's "Foodie's Hope" today because she always has something awesome cooking over there and now I get blindsided! *sigh* Looks mighty tasty...
They look like crusty bread rolls! I guess nearly every country has its form of bread, whether made with yeast or not, whether made with wheat or another grain. Sadly, I have a yeast intolerance and shouldn't eat it!
Well, you're not short of comments and I've already posted mine, ha ha. But here I am again, this time as your fellow member on the ABC team. This time, I think, I'll echo one of the other comments here - yummm.
