Mangalore Buns

When I call it buns, don't imagine them to be like bakery buns. These are home made poori-like buns with a little sweet, salt and soury taste in it. Goes well for evening snacks and kids will love it.
With 1 large banana, you can prepare approx 20 buns.

Ingredients:
Banana - 1 (choose very ripe bananas with black spots on its skin)
Sugar - 1 small bowl
Salt - as per taste
Yogurt - 1 small bowl
A pinch of Soda
Wheat flour + Plain Flour - at least 2 bowls
Butter - 2 little blobs
Oil for frying

Method:
- Melt the butter in a large vessel. Peel the banana and smash it well and add to the vessel
- Add sugar, salt, soda, yogurt and mix well so that they blend together and form an even paste
- Now, to this add wheat flour and plain flour (maida) in equal quantities and mix them well until it forms a consistent dough like that of Poori dough. (Note: Wheat:Maida proportion can be adjusted as per your likings).
- Keep the dough aside overnight. (Some even prefer to keep it for fermentation for 24-36hrs for better taste).
- Next day, make small balls out of the dough (like poori balls) and flatten them with rolling pins.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and fry these in medium flame on either side until they turn golden brown.
Serve it hot (plain or with desi chutney). Also note that these buns can be prepared and stored in air tight jars for 1-2 days and has its own taste when eaten that way.
