Bhubus Roti/Manglore Buns

I am a Saraswat Brahmin (Amchi/Konkani) and we love to eat evening snacks. Growing up I remember my Amma making bhubus roti's/Manglore buns. Just the smell of it being fried would be enough to build a huge appetite. This is one of my favorite amchi snacks. I shared this with my Chinese friend Zhiyan and she loved it. Another interesting part is my best friend Maha is from Yemen and she makes something similar. We have this at her place during Ramamdan and Eid celebrations every year.

Ok now I am gonna give you the recipe and not make you wait any longer ;)


2 cups Maida (All purpose flour)

2 ripe bananas (the ones which have black skin)

1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder

2-3 tblspn sugar

2 tblspn yogurt

1/8 tea spn baking soda

Oil for frying

Method:

Add sugar,cardamom powder, soda and yogurt to bananas. Mash well.
Now add the flour and mix with your hands to make the dough. The dough should be stiff. Donot add any water as the bananas and yogurt will have enough moisture.
