mangalore sweet bun recipe /Konkani buns/banana puri

My whole one life would not be enough to learn about countless number of cuisines around the world in detail!this sense of longing is same for all the foodies like me.Mangalore is one part of South-canara or Dakshin Kannada and this time when exploring South-Canara I fixed to try the so-called Mangalore sweet bun recipe or otherwise it is also called as banana puri’s.These Mangalore buns are really new to me they turned out to be awesome spongy and chewy buns it’s not like actual buns but looks and feel are like actual tea buns.I cut out the shapes with bottle lid to make it small for the sake that it have to be served as tea time snack!needless to say that it will also be easy to eat.While adding sugar it’s always your own will to add either more or less!I have added a little bit higher because I have served it as a tea time snack but for breakfast you will be serving with a spicy chutney so no need to add more sugar.Its a yet another solution to use up left over ripe bananas and the dough made can be kept in a fridge for two days it won’t spoil much.Enjoy making awesome puri’s with it.

Notes

I have made it as small puris but you can make it as usual puri size but should be rolled out thick.
Little ghee can be added to the dough while kneading itself and its very flavorful.
Adding cumin and pepper powder are optional but it will taste nice when added.
You can mix half and half of maida with wheat flour or all wheat flour alone.
Sweetness can be more or less depending upon your need.
I made it little sweeter and served it as a snack.
If you are making for breakfast add less sugar as it will be served with some side dish.
