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.

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
