# 14 : Sannas

Yumm!!!!

Sannas look a lot like idlis but the ingredients vary a bit. Also the taste is amazingly different. There's always a coconut flavor. Its also steamed! what is also beautiful about this dish is the honey comb structure that you would see when u slice a piece out.

This dish is famous among the manglorean christians. Very famously served and eaten with "Sarpotel" (Pork curry)

Ingredients:

1. Rice - 1 cup
2. Coconut - 1/2 cup
3. Cooked rice - 2 cups (or one handful)
4. Yeast - 1 tsp
5. Sugar - 1 tsp
6. Water - 1 cup
7. Salt to taste

Procedure:

1. Grind the rice, coconut & cooked rice together.
2. Soak the yeast in water and add sugar to it. Wait untill it bloats.
3. Add the yeast to the rice-coconut mixture. Keep it overnight.
4. Add salt just before preparing.
5. Take a vessel and grease it. Pour the batter in.
6. Steam for 25 mins & its ready! 

When u prick the dish with a needle, make sure the batter does not stick on it. If it does, you will know it has to be steamed for a while more..

Njoi!
