These Mangalore buns were something that I had wanted to make from quite sometime. Every time I travel to the south-western part of Karnataka, I don’t miss tasting these buns in the hotels. What surprises me is that they are not at all oily in spite of being deep fried! Initially I had assumed that these were some baked-stuff. It isn’t a big deal to make it at home... try it out when there are over ripe bananas lying in the kitchen, abandoned!
Mangalore Buns |
Preparation time : 15 min Cooking time : 15 min Serves : 5-6 Ingredients: Over ripe long bananas - 2 Maida - 2 cups + for dusting Curd - ¾th cup Sugar - 1 Tbsp Salt - ½ tsp Soda / baking powder - 1 pinch Cooking Oil - to deep fry Method: • In a wide bowl mash bananas with salt and sugar • Add curd and beat it with your fingers for 5-6 minutes. Let there be small little lumps of banana • Mix in the flour and baking powder and knead it into a soft dough • Keep it covered for at least 30 minutes. The dough would have got a little soggy after the resting time. • Take small lemon sized balls and roll it into small pooris using more flour for dusting • Meanwhile heat oil in a skillet and deep fry one at a time in medium heat • Turn it over a couple of times, ensuring even browning of the buns • Remove from oil, drain on a kitchen towel • Repeat the same with rest of the dough • Serve hot with chutney of your choice. Pudina-coconut chutney tastes great with these hot buns Tips n Tricks: • Use well ripened bananas for best results • Let the dough rest, to get good puffed up buns |
