    Goan Sweet Buns are a breakfast dish made with dough that is fermented overnight. These are cumin flavoured and taste excellent after fermentation.

    These sweet buns are very popular in Goa and Mangalore. Similar pooris are made in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. These are mildly sweet buns that are fermented. I adapted my recipe from here and I read that these are popular dishes in the hotels and served for breakfast.

    When I decided on making some breakfast dishes from Goa, I actually first came across the side dishes that are very popular, served with baked buns. However, during my research, I came across this site featuring these fermented pooris along with these Patal Bhajis.

    Since it was a poori, it was so easy for me to decide on this. As much as possible, I short-listed pooris as it was one of the easiest I could manage. So along with our regular poori breakfast, I make these too.

    I have already made Mangalore Buns and know it is prepared with banana and fermented. However, making it with just sugar and fermentation surely appealed to me.

    We are starting our Week 4 of Thalis and Platters, this week it is going to be Breakfast dishes from different states, while it is going to be Street food from different cities.  For day 1 of Breakfast Dishes, it is Goan Sweet Buns in the Goan Breakfast Thali.

    • In a wide bowl, take all purpose flour, turmeric powder, sugar, salt and cooking oil. Mix well.
    • Slowly add warm water to the bowl and knead to a soft dough.
    • Cover well and let it ferment overnight or for atleast 8 hours.
    • After fermentation, remove the cover and knead well.
    • Divide into equal balls. Dust the balls and roll into 6 inch diameter.
    • Heat a kadai with cooking oil. When hot, slide the pooris and cook on both sides.
    • Gently press on the top for the pooris to puff up.
    • Once cooked on both sides, drain to a kitchen towel.

      These are beautifully puffed beauties ! The fermented pooris obviously will have a different taste. Also they would pair so well with channa.

      Like that yellow hue and the spices going in there , let me give these pooris a try sometime .

      Making poori with fermented batter sounds interesting. Does it absorb more oil Valli? This entire platter is amazing.

      Interesting poori and looks similar to Mangalore buns, but yes the main difference no bananas are here. The pooris look flavourful and have puffed up well.

      Love the color of the poori and they have puffed up so perfectly. Lovely side dishes to enjoy as well. Do we need 1/2 cup of oil for the dough?

        I added approximately about 1/2 cup, maybe little less. Will update that in the notes..However, since it ferments overnight, the oil was almost absorbed.
