How to make Mangalore Buns Recipe - Puffed Banana Puris
To begin making the Mangalore Buns Recipe, first prep all the ingredients to make the buns and keep them ready.
Into the food processor, add the flour, sugar, yogurt, jeera, baking soda, ghee, banana and salt. Turn on the processor and add little water at a time and blend together until the mangalore dough bun comes together.
Remove from the food processor and knead along with a little ghee until smooth and non sticky.

Divide the Mangalore buns dough into large lemon size balls. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature for 2-3 hours or refrigerate it overnight.
When ready to prepare the Mangalore Buns, roll out each ball into the shape of puris, using a rolling pin.
Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying.
When the oil is warm enough, slide the rolled out Mangalore Buns in one at a time, frying them gently on a medium heat, until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the mangalore buns with a slotted spoon and place on absorbent paper to drain.
