OIL-FREE MANGALORE BUNS 


This post is for health conscious people who love to have healthy, oil-free snacks.  Perfect snack to cut down on fat or calories!

Mangalore buns are loved by most of us. It's a deep fried snack. This time i have tried a healthy option by frying it in an air fryer.  These buns turned out absolutely perfect , totally oil-free & are a perfect choice to start a day with a healthy breakfast.  

This can be served  hot with sambar/ chutney for breakfast or evening tea.

I have replaced all purpose flour with wheat flour.


RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:


  • 2-3 cups wheat flour
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup curds
  • 2 tsp jeera seeds
  • Sugar as per your choice
  • Salt to taste
  • Baking soda (3 pinch)
  • 1 tbsp ghee (optional)

METHOD:

Mash the bananas,  add sugar, salt, curds, jeera. Mix well. Add flour , ghee & knead to a soft dough.  You can add little water if required while kneading. 


Apply little oil on top & rest this dough atleast for 6-8 hrs/ overnight. 

Take the required quantity and roll into  thick  round poori. 

Preheat the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 180°C. 

Shake off the excess flour from the poories and place them inside the basket.  Make sure that there is enough place for air circulation. 

Bake for 8 -10 minutes. I baked for 8 minutes.

Delicious , oil-free mangalore buns are ready. 
Enjoy these with your loved ones.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional

Coorgi Pork Coorgi Pork is the iconic pork dish from Coorg region.  It's spicy, tangy, aromatic & so yummy! Here is the Youtube Video for this dish: This is the most loved and appreciated dish in my house. I usually serve this as a starter/ appetizer with drinks.  The main ingredient which gives authentic taste to this dish is the coorgi masala powder, which is mentioned in the recipe.  The bright blackish colour and the unique taste comes from the souring agent called " Kachampuli" which is a coorgi vinegar.  This semi dry dish goes well as a side dish with any meal or as an appetizer/starter. This authentic coorgi dish is served in almost every single restaurant in Coorg region with super delicious rice roties.  Recipe is easy & simple if the coorgi masala is prepared well in advance.  Try this delicious recipe.  Recipe: Ingredients: 1/2 kg pork 2 chopped onions 7-8 flakes of garlic ( chopped) 1/2" ginger ( chopped) 2 tsp kachampuli Salt, little coriander
