Mangalore Buns

🇮🇳 Indian

Mangalore Buns straight off the tawa — blistered, ghee-brushed and impossible to eat slowly. About 45 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 25 min Cook 20 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Cumin Seeds1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Neutral Oilfor kneading
  • Plantain2

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantroto finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Knead a soft dough with the flour, mash or spice, and a spoon of oil; rest 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll into rounds — even thickness so they puff as one.

  3. 3

    Slide into medium-hot oil and press gently; it should balloon in seconds.

  4. 4

    Fry to a light gold on both sides and serve immediately — puff waits for no one.

Chef's tip

Rest the dough — unreaxed dough snaps back under the rolling pin.
