Mangalore Buns are a super simple snack that uses up your overripe bananas. My first encounter with Mangalore buns was when I was in hostel, in school.
But it was only when I was studying in Manipal that I learnt how to make it. (P.S. until that I didn’t even know it was made from bananas!)You can eat with sambhar, chutney or even just a cup of hot coffee will do. For those wondering how I reached Manipal, this post is being written by Nivedita
Nivedita is a chef from Manipal University and joined Sinamon and me about a year ago. Mainly to help with consulting and other works. But considering the current circumstances of quarantine and the need for churning recipes faster is helping me out with the #CookTogetherAtHome project too.
You will see recipes from her too now and then her for the next 10 days. And let me assure they are delicious and 100 per cent foolproof.
If you make this, share a picture with me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook? I would love to hear what you have to say about it.
