Mangalore Buns

Ingredients:  
                                                                       
2 cup maida
3 tbsp curd
1 cup sugar
1 tspn baking soda
1 tspn salt
1 tbsp wheat flour
Oil for deep frying

Method:

In a mix bowl add curd & add 50 ml water (only if the curd is too thick) add sugar , baking soda & salt. Mix it well till sugar gets dissolved.
Add maida, wheat flour & 1 tbsp oil. Make it into a nice dough (similar to a poori dough)
Keep it out over night. (atleast takes 8-10 hours to ferment)
Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Take around lemon sized dough & roll it. Make sure that the flat dough is a little thick.
Deep fry till it turns golden brown on both sides & serve it hot for breakfast.

PS: Few prefer to add Bananas while making buns. Gives it a different taste & color. If adding banana reduce the sugar quantity & add smash bananas to the dough. I prefer without the bananas. :)
