Sweet Buns

The konkani name for this breakfast treat is " Bubbus Rotti". It is served in all Kamath's restaurants in Mangalore. In the USA, it would compare to Mexican Sopapillas, minus the sugar dusting and syrup. Its delicious tea time treat or just an anytime snack. My kids would open it up and play with it for hours, making up stories such as Beauty and Beast, and enjoying the snack.
Here is a picture of an opened bun. Make sure that the baking powder is fresh to make them more soft and fluffy.


Ingredients:
2 cups All purpose flour ( Maida)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour ( Atta)
1 Banana ( optional)
1 cup yoghurt ( sour)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
Oil of choice for frying

Mix in yogurt with sugar, salt and baking powder, and let it react for a few seconds, mash the ripe banana until blended. Add maida and atta and bind together into a bread like dough. Place it in a glass bowl and keep covered in a warm place overnight or atleast 5-6 hours , to rise.
Heat 4-5 cups of vegetable oil in a kadhai ( wok frying pan) or "traditional Kayli " until nice and hot. Test it with a little piece of dough to see if it floats. While the oil is heating up, you can size a small lemon size dough and press it on a floured board and roll out 2-3 inches round poori. The dough may pull back a little, which is OK. Deep fry the poories until they are golden brown , remember to turn it over on the second side, as well.
Place the deep fried poories on a paper towel, and let the excess oil be absorbed , before serving. Enjoy it with hot coffee or tea...................... Yummilicious!!!!!
