Marinate 500 g boneless chicken with spices and 2 tablespoons oil for 30 minutes.

Heat a pan and add oil, then add 4 tablespoons cumin seeds.

Add marinated chicken and cook until golden brown.

Add 1 finely chopped carrot and 1 capsicum to the chicken and mix well.

Stir in 1 tablespoon tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons water; cook until water evaporates.

Transfer the chicken mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely.

In a large bowl, combine 325 g flour, 2 teaspoons yeast, 2.5 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 50 g melted butter; mix until combined.

Add 200 mL warm milk and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes until soft, then place in a bowl and cover; let it rest for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and roll it to 1 inch thick; cut out squares using a large cutter.

Place cut dough on a baking tray with space between them and brush with 2 tablespoons tomato paste.

Layer the brushed dough with another slice of dough and brush again with tomato paste; let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 12 to 15 minutes.

Let the buns cool completely, then spread spicy mayonnaise on the inside of the buns.

Add the prepared chicken filling, close the bun, and press down slightly.
