Mangalore Buns Recipe – Khanapoor

Share

Mangalore Buns is a traditional recipe of the Konkani speaking Gowd Saraswat community in southern coastal regions of Karnataka.

Mangalore Buns is a delicious deep fried fermented flat bread. It can be called banana puri or fried banana bread. It can be prepared using refined flour (maida), whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) or a mixture of both flours.

One can have these buns for breakfast or snacks. It is also an ideal option, if one is observing no onion no garlic days. It is a very good recipe for putting very ripe bananas to good use. Of course, adding bananas is optional but it imparts a wonderful sweet taste to the dish.

Let us see how to prepare these delicious, puffed Mangalore Buns.

Take whole wheat flour in a big mixing bowl.

Add butter which is at room temperature.

Now, add yoghurt. Make sure it is not sour.

After this add very ripe bananas.

Then, add sugar. You can always change the quantity as per taste.

Finally, add baking soda. If your baking soda has been lying around for a long time, increase it’s quantity.

Mash the bananas with your hand and knead the dough without adding any water.

Let the dough ferment for 6 to 8 hours or keep it overnight.

Take a small portion of the dough and roll it in a small disc.

Heat cooking oil in a kadhai (wok).

Once the cooking oil is hot, put the disc in it.

Cook it on both sides by flipping it.

Your delicious piping hot Mangalore Buns are ready.

Normally these sweet buns do not require any accompaniments but some like to have it with coconut chutney or dip it in their tea or coffee. I prefer them without any accompaniments.
