banana buns recipe | mangalore buns recipe | banana puri recipe with step by step photo recipe. commonly, banana buns recipe is a popular breakfast recipe and ideally served along with idli and dosa. but it also hugely popular tea time snack especially with veg sagu combination.
even though it may be referred as poori’s, there are several difference to the traditional poori’s. comparatively banana buns poori are sweet in taste and the texture is more rubbery and flaky inside. in addition it has a thick texture like bread or buns and perhaps it is known as banana buns. the sweet taste is not just because of addition of ripe banana, as even sugar is added to buns dough. the quantity of sugar may vary and depends upon the individual preference. i have added 1 to 1.5 tbsp of sugar for 2 bananas but it may go up to 4 tbsp for the same quantity of banana. further, the dough for banana buns has to undergo fermentation process unlike the traditional one. the fermentation helps to achieve the chewy and bread like texture to banana poori.
some important tips and recommendations to be considered while preparing banana buns or mangalore buns. firstly, i would heavily recommend to use ripe banana with black spots on banana peel. it does not taste well with tender or raw banana’s and also slows fermentation process. secondly, 8 hours of fermentation is sufficient in a humid or a moist weather. but if you are living in a cold region, place the banana buns dough in a pre heated oven or warm place to hasten the fermentation. lastly, the buns last’s for while and it can be served even after few hours.

Hello I love all your recipes it’s so easy to make. I tried this recipe yesterday I did follow all your steps and measurements and I soaked my dough for 8 hours but my dough turned runny so I keep on adding flour to make exact dough like yours can u please help me understand what went wrong
have you added more curd or banana… the amount of flour completely depends on the banana – curd mixture..
Same thing has happened to me also
I used the same cup and measured out 1/4 cup curd and 2 cups flour but it was so runny I almost had to add another cup of flour but still it’s not in the puri consistency
Have left it to sit overnight
Hope it works ☹️
Oh nooo
In the pictures it doesn’t look like 1/4 cup curd
Looks like 2 tablespoons
Is that what happened?
i have added 1/4cup curd.
it depends on quality of banana and consistency of curd used..
was searching for the receipe …thanks
Thanks a lot 🙂
