Mangalore Buns

Soft, golden, and gently puffed, Mangalore Buns are a beloved breakfast and snack from coastal Karnataka that bring sweetness and warmth to your plate. Made with overripe bananas, curd, and a hint of sugar, the dough is fermented for a few hours to create that signature airy, soft texture. Cumin adds an earthy note, while a touch of ghee enriches the dough, giving it that perfect balance of comfort and flavor.

Once rolled out, these banana-scented discs are deep-fried until they puff up into golden pillows. Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they pair beautifully with coconut chutney or even just a hot cup of filter coffee. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast or an evening bite, Mangalore Buns are timeless and rooted in homestyle goodness.
