Banana buns is another special recipe from Udupi or Karnataka cuisine and a popular street food and tea time snack recipe too. Perhaps, this recipe is one of the best way to use over ripe bananas and turn them into delicious tea time snack.

You can also make these buns with ripe yellow bananas, but the ones made with black skin bananas taste much better. These deep fried banana buns or puris are made using over ripe bananas, hence they are fluffy, semi sweet and usually served with spicy coconut coriander chutney and curries. 

Did you know, the nutrient content of a banana changes as the banana becomes more ripe. However, the nutrient change isn't necessarily bad. Regardless of how ripe or unripe a fruit is, you still gain numerous benefits from it. For example, an overripe banana is packed with antioxidants and easy to digest. Hence it is also recommended for babies above 10 months. But yes…..due to high sugar levels it must be avoided by people suffering with diabetics.



These aromatic banana buns go well with almost all types of chutneys, pickles,  curries and dry masala vegetables.

For a scrumptious breakfast serve these banana buns with spicy coconut coriander chutney, peanut coriander chutney or mango pickle.

Since these banana puris or buns taste slight sweet, hence they go very well with spicy gravy veggies and dry veggies like egg curry, kadala curry, lauki ke kofte and bhindi achaari. If you love more spicy flavors, then do not miss to team your meal with Rajasthani green chilly pickle.

Kids love to enjoy these semi sweet banana buns dipped in condensed milk.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Whole wheat flour – 2 cups + extra for dusting
  • Ripe banana – 1
  • Sugar- 1 tsp
  • Baking soda – A pinch or two
  • Salt – A pinch
  • Yogurt – 1-2 tsp
  • Oil – To deep fry
  • Castor sugar/Cherries – For garnish

How to make Banana Buns

  • Peel banana. Put it in a blender along with sugar to make a ‘Puree’. Do not add any water.
  • In a large bowl…..take all the dry ingredients like wheat flour, baking soda, salt and give a nice mix.
  • Now add yogurt, banana puree and make a dough.
  • Cover with a muslin cloth and keep it to rest at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
  • After 20minutes knead the dough again. Make lemon size balls and roll it into a medium circle (The same way as you make ‘Purees’). While rolling you can use some dry flour or oil for dusting.
  • Heat oil in a wok and deep fry the buns till golden. Transfer to a plate with kitchen napkin to soak away the excess oil.

Our ‘Banana Buns’ (Also known as ‘Mangalorean Buns’) are ready.

Serve hot and take some lovely ideas from our serving suggestions above!

Tips –

  • While making the ‘Dough’….do not add all the banana puree at once, otherwise the dough might become too soggy to handle. Start with small quantity and add more as per your requirement.
  • There is absolutely no need to add any ‘Water’ to knead the ‘Dough’. Here, ‘Banana Puree’ is the binding agent.
  • Roll the buns into ‘Thick Circles’…..otherwise, they won’t ‘Puff’.
