Ingredients
Batter
- 550 gm Adai Batter f2f multi dal adai batter
Spices and Flavorings
- 1.5 Tbsp Coriander finely chopped
- 1-2 Chiles adjust to taste, finely chopped, green
- 3 leaves Curry Leaves chopped
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, crushed
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Other
- Oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners. Greasing ensures the muffins won't stick.
- In a large bowl, combine the adai batter, chopped vegetables, cilantro, green chiles, curry leaves, crushed black pepper, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full. An ice cream scoop helps portion the batter evenly.
- Gently tap the muffin tin on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. This helps create a uniform texture.
- Bake for 20 minutes. This initial baking sets the structure of the muffins.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and lightly brush the tops of the muffins with oil. This adds a touch of richness and helps them brown beautifully.
- Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite tomato chutney or sauce.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra texture and flavor, try adding finely chopped spinach, grated carrots, or sweet corn to the batter. These blend in well and boost nutrition without overpowering the taste, making them especially kid-friendly.
- If you want a crispier muffin crust, brush the muffin cups lightly with ghee or coconut oil before pouring in the batter. This also adds a subtle richness traditional to South Indian snacks.
- To make these muffins completely vegan, ensure your batter and any greasing agents are plant-based, and swap out ghee for coconut or sesame oil.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For even baking, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full. This allows the muffins to rise without overflowing.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they're ready.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in an oven or air fryer for a few minutes to regain their softness.
- Serve warm with coconut chutney or sambar.
