Mango poori, Mangalore bun style mango puri

Mango poori, in Mangalore buns style. A delicious poori with the subtle flavour of ripe mango. Quick video, step by step pictures.

I have not tried the basic Mangalore buns yet, but have been thinking for many years to try it. But before that I saw this idea in Vj Tv cookery show. So asked Vj to buy Thai mangoes if it is there in stock. TO my knowledge, this is the first or second time I am buyin Thai mangoes. It was very flavourful. Took me to olden days where the same smell is all around the bus stands when we used to travel in Summer holidays.

The mangoes were medium sweet and perfect ripen. We enjoyed one as side dish for rice and made the puri with another the same day. I forgot the fact that Mangalore style buns needs fermentation and made it as such. I loved the results, though wanted to make once by fermenting for some time. This time also I did not get the bun’s typical texture inside, so naming it as poori rathen than Mangalore buns. So here comes the first mango recipe for the season.
