Ingredients

  • 200 grams Condensed Milk I used half tin of Amul Mithai Mate (400gms)
  • 4 Tbsp Butter Softened at room temperature
  • 1 Cup Maida
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 Tbsp Castor Sugar You may used powdered sugar as well
  • 1/2 Tsp Cardamom (elaichi) powder
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Mawa/ Khoya
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Pistachios
  • 1/4 Cup Milk At room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celcius

  2. In a large bowl, mix the softened butter with condensed milk with an electric beater or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy. 

  3. Sieve together maida, castor sugar (powdered sugar), baking powder, baking soda and cardamom powder.

  4. Add the dry ingredients in small portions and lightly incorporate them into the wet ingredients in a cut and fold method. Add milk in batches alternating with the flour mix. Ensure that you do not overmix the batter.

  5. Once all the dry ingredients are mixed well, add the grated khoya or mawa and mix lightly. Add half of the chopped pistachios into the muffin batter and mix.

  6. Line the muffin tray with cupcake liners and fill each one with 3/4th level of batter. Once all the moulds are filled, sprinkle the remaining pistachios over the muffins. This recipe will make 6-8 medium sized muffins.

  7. Bake the muffins in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celcius. Since all the ovens heat differently, I would suggest to bake the muffins for 15 minutes first, after that insert a toothpick to check if the muffins are done. If the toothpick doesn’t comes out clean, then bake for another 3-5 minutes.

  8. Cool down the muffins after taking them out of the moulds for atleast 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy these cakes with a cup of tea or hot chocolate as per your liking.
