Sannas, a famous Goan delicacy, is a steamed rice cake that has a soft texture and pleasant flavour. The unique batter, made of rice, coconut and yeast, yields an amazing rice cake with a lovely taste.

Traditionally, toddy is used for fermenting this, but we have used yeast instead as it is easily available and acceptable to all.

You can enjoy it for lunch or dinner with any spicy Curry of your choice.

You can consider serving it with Potatoes in Goanese Gravy or Bread Kofta Curry .
