Rimli says
The muffins look so fluffy Hari. Just have one query, what to use to replace the banana? and is there any specific reason to use boiled milk?
Hari Chandana P says
Thank you Rimli, I am not sure about the replacement. But try with yogurt and check. I read somewhere there will be some difference in the texture of the cakes or muffins when we did and didn't boil the milk. So I always use boiled and cooled milk for puffy cakes. Thanks again! 🙂
