Your progress

Follow Building 2 at Hari Prasad to Building 6 at Mami’s Illam, then Building 8 at Puranmal. Stay on public pavements and use marked crossings. Aim to reach Mami’s during its breakfast service, before 11:30; confirm buns and dessert availability before setting out.

Budget and paying

Share the buns and idli, then split a dessert; order drinks separately if wanted.

Self-guided. Timing is an editorial suggestion, not a measured journey. Check kitchen hours and access before going.

THE ROUTE

3 stops, one food Hunt

01

Mangalore Buns (2 Pieces)
Hari Prasad Pure Vegetarian Restaurant
Begin with a pair of soft, deep-fried Mangalore buns. Tear one open and compare its browned outside with the soft middle; this bread stop sets up a useful contrast with the steamed idli at the next kitchen.

Mallipoo Idli
Mami’s Illam

Continue with soft idli and its accompanying sambar and coconut, coriander and tomato chutneys. The steamed cakes offer a quieter texture after the fried buns; taste a small piece with each chutney rather than mixing all the sauces at once.

Kesar Rasmalai

Puranmal

End with cottage-cheese patties in saffron milk. The cool rasmalai changes the route from savoury breads and chutneys to a gentle milk dessert; choose Kesar Rasmalai specifically, since the menu also offers a plain version.
