Bun maska · Mumbai
A soft white Irani bun split and slathered with thick salted Amul butter (maska). Served with sweet milky Irani chai at every Irani cafe in Mumbai.
Bun maska is the canonical Irani cafe pairing for Irani chai, born from the Persian Zoroastrian migration of the early 1900s that built the city's cafe culture. Kyani and Co (founded 1904), Sassanian (founded 1913) and Yazdani still serve it the original way: a soft, slightly sweet bun split and slathered with cold white butter that melts on contact. The price has barely moved in a decade.
