This delicious dish is from Mrs. Sheela Hebbal (My friend Vinyas’s mother). I have heard a lot about her from Vinyas. She is a great cook and has a lot of interesting talents like knitting, embroidery etc. I used to trouble everybody in my office to get recipes. I had heard a lot about Mrs Sheela from Vinyas. So I asked him to get the recipe for his favourite enne rotti. I got a bonus, she gave me a lot of delicious recipes. Infact I wanted to go to her home and learn embroidery, knitting from her, but unfortunately I could not do it. Still I haven’t left the hope, one or the other day I will definitely meet her. Because whenever we used to talk about her, I used to remember my aayi. There are a lot of similarities between the two.

Keeping vinyas’s house at a stone’s throw from my work place, its definitely criminal to miss out on such goodies!

Shilpa …..You must be knowing about buns, which is famous right from Sirsi to Mangalore. Why dont you post the recipe. Do let me know in case of any help.
Aruna, Buns recipe is there in this site. Just search for Buns in the search box and you will find it. But I guess there is a slight difference from the South Kanara recipe. Check and let me know. Thanks
Shilpa ….I saw the same. I have mentioned the way my mom makes it. In hotels right from sirsi to mangalore there is pepper powder and soda added. Suger offcource is there. You can try it.
