The buns are mild sweet, soft fluffy puris made using all purpose flour and banana. These buns are also called as banana buns or pooris.

  6. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and keep for fermentation for 8 hrs .

METHOD

After fermentation again knead the dough .

Take a portion and roll into small pooris by dusting dry flour OR make a big thick chapati of 1/4 inch thickness and use a circle cutter . [pooris should not be very thin ]

Heat oil in a kadai .

Once the oil is hot enough ,slide in the pooris and fry on medium heat .

The buns will puff up and float , press the edges with the ladle like we do for pooris .

Flip and fry on both sides till golden brown – don’t burn it .

Drain and remove on an absorbent paper .

Serve hot or at room temperature with coconut chutney or plain .

NOTES

  1. If you want to make these buns for breakfast then knead the dough in the night and keep for overnight fermentation .
  2. Instead of maida we can use wheat flour or half of each .

  4. You can give dounut shape also , why not also dip in chocolate sauce before serving .
  5. Instead of blending ,you can mash it .
  6. If the dough is too wet you can add more flour and if the the dough is too tight you can add curd .
  7. Sugar can be added as per taste .you can add upto 5 or 6 tbsp .
  8. Sugar gives the colour to the bun.
  9. We don’t add have to add water while kneading .
  10. More the fermentation better the texture of buns .
