Goan Sannas
Goan fluffy rice sannas, the Christmas-table steamed bread. The batter does the work; the pan does the magic. Plate with tomato chutney and filter coffee alongside.

- Curry Leaves1 sprig

- Sugar1 tsp

Instructions
- 1
Wash and soak the grains and dal; grind soft, mix with salt and leave in a warm spot until the batter rises and smells faintly sour.
- 2
Check the batter: bubbles at the surface and a light sour aroma mean it is ready. Add salt if you haven't already.
- 3
Grease the pan lightly with a cut onion dipped in oil — the old non-stick trick.
- 4
Pour, spread with the back of the ladle in ever-widening circles, and trickle oil down the sides.
- 5
Cook till the underside is gold and lacy and the top loses its raw look, then flip or remove; serve immediately — they wait for no one.
Chef's tip
A pinch of sugar in the batter deepens the golden colour.
