About this dish
A sanna is a spongy, steamed, and savoury unfilled dumpling originally made of red rice, black lentil and coconut in the Konkan region, by the western coast of the Indian subcontinent. They originated in Goa and Damaon, Bombay and Bassein (Vasai). They are especially popular among Goans, both the Goan Hindus and Goan Christians, and also among the Konkani migrants outside Konkan in Karachi, Sindh, Gujarat, Karnataka and Kerala. They are also made by the people of Konkan division, such as the Kupari of the Bombay East Indian community. Hindus normally use urad dal, coconut water and coconut milk for fermentation. Catholic Christian sannas consist of two types: Those made from the toddy of coconut flowers, and those sannas made using the sap-toddy of the coconut palm.
