Hi.. I tried this recipe jus nw & it is just a Lott amazing..:*..!! My husband who is a garlic bread lover was just flattered.. Thanx a lot for d amazing recipe Aarthi. Literally I'm skipping my dinner coz I don wanna lose this garlic flavour from my tongue.. Love yu Aarthi...!!!<3..
Tergi
The taste was flawless.. But d bread didn't turn brown on top even after 15 mins... I served a white bomb..:p.. Any suggestion.??
Aarthi
@Tergiglad to hear that u tried and loved it..the browning may be because of each oven..i can give u a easy trick for browning on top..
After the buns are baked, turn the oven mode to grill and set temp to 250 degree C. place the tray on top rack and grill it for just 30 sec to 45 sec..dont grill too much else the top may get hard and burned.
Mayuri Patel
such a mouth watering recipe. I have to try this ... like really soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Vidya Uday
Hi Aarthi
I am planning to make this as an appetiser this weekend for some guests. Now can i make this early that day to serve for evening or should i be making it only by the time they arrive?? are they gonna harden up or stay fluffy it kept long?
Aarthi
@Vidya Udayu can make the dough and keep ready. u can whip this up an hour before..but still it will taste great if u make it in morning
Aarthi
@Anonymousi hope u can use appe pan, but keep cooking it on a low heat
Aarthi
@Susanreplacing maida with atta will give you little denser buns, but still it will taste good..

Vidya Uday
Hi Aarthi,
I posted a reply to your comment that day but surprisingly that didnt appear on the page.. And I just noticed it now... Wanted to tell u that the garlic bombs were a success and the guests loved it!! the complete menu for that day was from your blog including chicken skewers, garlic bombs, mughalai chicken, mushroom fried rice, tandoori chicken and more!! I cant thank you enough for helping us more than often... God Bless You and Family
Aarthi
@Ruchika Sikka
1)u can use atta too, the buns will be a little dense, but still it will taste yum.
2)Yes u can make dough night, give a first rise outside. Then store it in fridge.
