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.
