Mangalore Buns (Fried Banana Buns)

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

These buns I tasted when we were on a trip to Mangalore and other nearby places. On the way we stopped at a restaurant for tea and snacks. Here we ordered for a typical Mangalorean dish and these buns were served to us. They were in the shape of puris and slightly sweet. The combination they served with these buns was excellent. Coconut chutney and vegetable kurma were the accompaniments. We enjoyed them and the restaurant manager even gave us the recipe! Kids will relish it.

This recipe makes about three to four buns.





















































Ingredients Quantity
Plain Flour (Maida) 1 cup
Ripe Banana 1
Curd ½ Cup
Powdered Sugar 4 - 5 tbsps
Cumin Seeds 1 tsp
Baking Soda ½ to ¾ tsp
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying


Method

  1. Mash the ripe banana very well.

  2. Mix this banana with maida and other ingredients except oil in a bowl till it forms a soft and firm dough.Here instead of water, curds have been used. Use only required amount of curds to make the dough.

  3. Cover the bowl and keep it overnight for four to five hours to ferment.

  4. Heat oil in a pan.

  5. Make equal sized balls of the dough and keep it aside.

  6. Take one ball at a time and flatten it on our greased palm and then and roll it on a floured surface into a circle like a puri.

  7. Drop this into the hot oil and fry on both the sides till golden brown in colour.Repeat this procss with the rest of the balls.

  8. Serve these Mangalore buns with coconut chutney anf vegetable kurma.
