Here’s the recipe in a simple format.. The given recipe yields 18 muffins of medium size as shown in the pics.

- The amount of water (in step 4) varies as per the quality of wheat flour. Add gradually till you get the right consistency.
- If making for breakfast at morning hurry-burry time, you can prepare step 1, step2 on the previous day and store in fridge. Next day morning step 3 and step 4 can be done to save time.
