Goan Sannas Recipe With Yeast | How to Make Goan Sanna

Goan Sannas With Yeast are also called Goan Steamed Rice Cake or Mangalorean Idlis. These Goan Sanna with yeast are mostly prepared by Goans and Mangaloreans on different occasions and mostly served with any pork dish or chicken dish.

Goan Sanna without toddy is basically prepared with boiled rice and coconut milk and yeast. Previously Toddy was mostly used for fermentation. But nowadays as toddy is not easily available, yeast is an alternate used for fermentation.

I can still remember my childhood, where my mom used to prepare these Goan Sannas for us to have with Goan Pork Sorpotel and Goan Vindaloo. Sannas is the best dish I would love to have with any pork dish from my childhood.

Also, try our delicious smothered pork chops with gravy, honey garlic pork chops (oven baked/grilled), keto crab stuffed mushrooms, christmas rum balls, roasted carrot ginger soup, drunken chocolate covered strawberries.

These Goan Sanna or Mangalorean Idlis are sometimes served at breakfast along with some chutneys and curry (sambar). And also served as the main course with different pork, chicken, and vegetarian dishes. These steamed rice cakes can also absorb the gravy very well and are mostly served along with gravy dishes.

Is It Possible To Prepare Goan Sannas Without Toddy

Traditionally Toddy was used for fermentation, currently, as toddy is not available everywhere Yeast is a better alternative. I have used Yeast in my recipe which makes the sannas soft, fluffy, and risen like the bread.
