looks yum Jayasri.. i could almost smell the bangalore bakery right in front of my eyes 🙂 I do bake buns, but they never seem to have the crusty golden colour on top (which is quite disappointing) ... Do i need to give a milk wash (with sugar) after they are halfway thru baking too??

Jayasri, can you get the recipe of honey cake and cup cake too from your cousins? That would be so good, almost like a min Iyengar bakery at home!! 🙂

Hi
I am bit confused about the recipe....in the first ingredient list with 650g flour, you mentioned 50g sugar, later for 1 kg flour you mentioned 10g sugar...was it a typing error or is there any reason for reduction in sugar?
Thanks in advance

Hi sinduja, what a lovely name you have! thank you so much for your lovely words thanks that you tried and liked it, As I don't get them here even my family love it too.., It's my dad's favourite with a cup of coffee!, thanks that you liked it, even I thought sugar was a little bit more, well, I just tried how my cousins told me, now I change it a bit to my taste, as I love spice in my food!

Hi Jayasri,I tried this recipe and to say it tastes delicious is a understatement!!!My case is slightly reversed from you. I am a madras iyengar married to a Bangalore hebbar iyengar. My husband is crazy about khara buns and any food related to Bangalore and I am so glad I stumbled upon your site. The measurements and the directions were all perfect except for the sugar which I reduced to couple of tbsp. Thanks for posting a keeper of a recipe!!
