Ingredients

Notes

  1. Remove the peels and chop the banana, then you have to mash it properly.
  2. Add in Maida flour, sugar, Jeera powder, salt except yogurt to the mashed banana.
  3. Knead the mixture to form a smooth dough (like chapati dough consistency). If the dough is too dry then add yogurt into it and knead.
  4. If the dough is too sticky then apply some ghee or oil to your hand.
  5. Cover the dough and keep aside for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature.
  6. After 3-4 hours you have to knead the dough before start doing banana pooris.
  7. Make a lemon sized balls from the dough and dust the rolling board with flour either maida or wheat flour. Roll it to make round shaped pooris.
  8. Heat the oil in a kadhai, and put the rolled pooris in oil.
  9. Deep fry them until they are turned golden brown on both sides. Remove the pooris from the oil and place it on a paper napkin to drain out excess oil.
  10. Serve the hot Managlore buns or Banana pooris with coconut chutney.
