👩‍🍳 Method

1. Prepare the Jaggery Syrup

Heat jaggery with 100ml water until melted.

Strain to remove impurities. Let it cool slightly.

2. Mash the Bananas

In a bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth.

Add the cooled jaggery syrup and mix well.

3. Combine the Batter

Add rice flour, grated coconut, cardamom powder, and baking soda.

Pour in melted ghee gradually, mixing to form a thick, pourable batter.

Fold in chopped cashews and sesame seeds.

4. Rest the Batter

Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes for flavors to deepen.

5. Bake the Muffins

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Grease a muffin tin with ghee.

Pour the batter into each mold, filling ¾ full.

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Finishing Touch

Brush warm muffins with a little melted ghee for glossy caramelized tops.

Cool slightly before serving.
