Hello, friends and food lovers, here we are back again for a new contest by @qurator hive top chef something steamed. I am making the Goan authentic sweet Mandos or Steamed banana coconut cake this time. The Goan cuisine has a lot of influences from Portuguese. But most recipes are made with local ingredients that are easily available. Most recipes are made with coconut or coconut-related ingredients like coconut milk, coconut jaggery, coconut todi, coconut oil, dry coconut, fresh coconut, and tender coconut. Locally grown Rice, finger millet, horse millet, mangoes, bananas, pineapples, and cashews.
This mandos recipe is made with all local ingredients.
1 cup local steamed rice
1 cup fresh coconut
4 local small bananas
3/4 cup of coconut jaggery
4 cardamom pods
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 pinch of salt
10 cashew nuts
1 tbsp raisins not locally grown
5-6 almonds not locally grown
2 strawberries not locally grown
Wash the rice thoroughly and soak it for at least 3-4 hours.
Nice reflection of the window in the soaked rice.
I enjoy the garden view when I make food in the daytime.
This is my ideal food-making place our kitchen we don't have any lights set up for food photography. Sometimes the light is not perfect for photography.
After 4 hours,
Drain the water from the soaked rice.
and put it in a mixer jar.
add banana pieces and 1/2 cup of water.
Grind rice and banana into a grainy paste.
Remove from mixer and keep in a bowl.
Put fresh grated coconut in the mixer jar.
Add cardamom and the coconut jaggery
Blend into a fine paste.
Mix coconut and jaggery in with the rice and banana.
add cashews, almonds, and raisins.
Add salt. make sure all ingredients are thoroughly blended. and rest the batter for around 1 to 1.5 hours.
I use my regular pressure cooker to steam the mandos.
Pouring water in the bottom of the cooker and place a ring or stand to hold the pan properly,
Use a Cooker separator and a cake pan to steam mandos.
First grease the pans using coconut oil.
Place the pan on high heat.
As soon as the pan is hot pour in the ready batter.
Keep on heat for around 2-3 minutes. for the bottom to get a dark color.
remove from heat.
Place it in the cooker for the steaming process.
Sprinkle 1/2 tbsp oil on the top.
cover it.
Do the same with other pan.
Cover with aluminum foil and close the pressure cooker.
Steam the mandos on low heat for around 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, I went to the well and got water which we filter for drink and use for cooking.
And here the Mandos is nicely steamed. Let it cool down.
traditionally served with cashew and fresh coconut toppings but
I topped with strawberries and raisins for more color
