The Story Behind Maska Bun
The history of the maska bun is deeply tied to Irani cafés in India. For decades, these cafés have been known for their unique charm and iconic menu items, with the maska bun and chai combination topping the list. A maska bun is a soft bun that's split open and filled with a generous layer of butter. When slightly warmed, the butter melts into the bread, creating a soft, rich bite that's impossible to resist. This snack became synonymous with comfort because it was affordable, filling, and satisfying. The popularity of the maska bun has endured throughout time despite shifting lifestyles. It still holds a place in households as a quick snack that delivers taste and joy in every bite.
