Jackfruit Buns

Jackfruit Buns is a modified version of the very popular Mangalore Banana Buns. Buns is a recipe from coastal Karnataka. Whenever we have overripe bananas we prepare buns for breakfast or for an evening snack. This is a very simple recipe. And this time I tried it adding jackfruit pulp in place of mashed bananas.




Ingredients


2 cups maida / all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup curds

10-12 jackfruit segments chopped and blended into a smooth puree

Baking soda less than 1/4 tsp

Baking powder less than 1/2 tsp

1 tsp jeera/ cumin seeds

2 tsp oil or ghee

Oil for frying


Procedure


  • Take curd, jackfruit pulp, sugar, salt, cooking soda, baking powder, and cumin seeds in a mixing bowl and mix well

  • After the sugar is dissolved add maida and make a soft dough

  • Keep the dough covered for 8-10 hours

  • Divide the dough into equal portions n roll into a thick puri

  • Deep fry into golden brown buns

  • Tastes nice with hot coffee or tea.

  • If you are using banana then use two mashed ripe bananas in place of jackfruit pulp.
