Mangalore Buns

Mangalore buns is regularly prepared in south canara & udupi district of karnataka. This is deep fried dish & originally maida is used as major ingredient, with banana, sugar , curd & salt with pinch of baking soda . I dont prefer to use baking soda, rather i would like to compromise on taste . But believe me the buns prepared  without baking soda was heavenly .. so soft & fluffy .

Note:

In this recipe I have used whole wheat flour instead of maida & Jaggery instead of sugar. You can use any kind of banana but use completely ripe one. Use little sour curd.

4. By adding curd , adjust the dough consistency to chapati dough consistency.
5. Keep the dough covered for about 5-6 hours.
6. Take out lemon sized dough & roll over like poori .( Don't make it too thin ) (If dough is sticky , use little flour while rolling like poori /chapati).
