Mawa Muffins

During the lockdown, I had to buy some cottage cheese from the dairy. While standing in the queue for my turn I happened to see their displayed product list. The fresh mawa in the list caught my attention and brought back fond memories of the mawa cake I used to buy from the Parsi bakery. Ended up buying the mava.

I made muffins using the mava. It is pretty simple and basic cake recipie. The addition of cardamom gives it a delicious flavour. It is super rich and very addictive at the same time.
