Shilpa, I saw those buns in Udupi but was hesitant to taste them, i shall make them for the new year pl clear these doubts
1]Is it the yellow pumpkin
2] you have mentioned about sun drying them, how can it be done
We are very fond of yellow ones and ofcourse white ones too, sometimes i too buy a large piece and wonder what to do bye

Shilpa: Yes, yellow ones. Just keep the pieces(quarter or half of the pumpkin) under hot sun for few hours till the water evaporates and looks dry. Then it remains good for a while

Maryam, you can keep them refrigerated if it is too hot where you live. Otherwise you can keep them out.

Thank you for this recipe. I had one question though. Is the dough to be left out overnight or refrigerated?

Thanks.

Hi Shilpa, I wrote to you about buns in the rice puri section, last evening. The way my mom makes it she uses maida instead of wheat flour. Also sour buttermilk is used and no water. It is fermented overnight. Try this out…..Its yummy

Oh, wow, Buns…one of my absolute favourites at my in-laws’ place. My mother-in-law makes them in a slightly different way, though. I don’t make them too often, because I have some kinda aversion to frying. I make deep-fried preparations only once in a year or two. That’s too healthy for comfort, isn’t it?
