Eggless Savoury Muffins
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Sift the refined flour and chickpea flour (besan) into a mixing bowl.
- Add the spices, vegetables, and paneer to the sifted flours and mix well.
- Stir in the oil and curd.
- If the batter feels too dry, add 2 tbsp of water or as needed, and mix until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tray lined with muffin liners.
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ (350℉).
- Once preheated, bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife- if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
- Remove the tray from the oven.
- After 5 minutes, take the muffins out of the tray and allow them to cool down.
- Serve with tomato ketchup, a dip of your choice, or enjoy them plain.
Notes
- Feel free to use any vegetables you like.
- If not using muffin liners, grease the muffin tray with butter and dust lightly with refined flour. Tap out the excess flour before adding the batter.
- Do not leave the muffins in the hot tray for too long, or they will become soggy.
- Baking time may vary depending on your oven. I’ve used the convection oven.
- If baking for the first time, start with less time than recommended, then add more if needed, checking periodically until fully baked.
