Breakfast Series: Mangalore Style Banana Buns Recipe

Mangalore buns or banana buns is a popular breakfast / snack prepared across karnataka. We pack this for school or office lunch it is also a filling snack after a good hike. We can prepare the dough in bulk and store it in fridge and prepare these fluffy buns fresh on the go. These buns are normally served with tea or coffee, if we are serving for breakfast we would serve it with spicy coconut chutney or any curry. My parents enjoy these buns with mango thokku (mango pickle).
