Rava - Banana Poori

Ready to Serve Rava -Banana Pooris.

Rava - Banana Pooris can be eaten for breakfast, as snack or for dinner. Banana Pooris are done with Chiroti Rava, wheat flour and  banans. We Mangalorians love Buns that is normally prepared using Maida (All purpose flour) and sugar. Rava is Semolina.
Now a days people have become very very conscious. Many hesitate to eat food items prepared using maida. On the other side people are addicted to fast food which is harming the their lives. One must give little concern and avoid eating these items at least very often.Reduce it if you addicted to these fast food. Try out home made food and surely you will know the difference.
I have tried to prepare pooris using Chiroti Rava (small size semolina), bananas, little curd. No sugar or any sweet is added to this poori. The banana adds sweet to the poori and a mild taste of sweet really nice. You don't have to keep the dough for some time to rest. After mixing straight away you can prepare them.
Eating oily food is not a healthy habit though every one love to eat friend items. I am such one person and will be looking for a chance to grab. By good exercise you can burn out the extra weight.
