Healthy muffin:
Muffins are a great alternative to unhealthy, on-the-go snacks, but only if they are baked with healthy ingredients. They can work wonders for people who are always running late for work and have a habit of skipping their morning meals because of the same.
They can be baked in large batches and can be stored fresh. The muffins are ideal to be consumed in between meals as well. Baking them in our Ceramic Casserole will make it an ideal size for a single serving. Hence, a perfect in between meals snack.
While there are endless ways to bake to a muffin, but keeping it healthy, wholesome and nutritious, is what matters the most. Muffins can be made in sweet, savory, or can also be customized as per your taste.
Nuts, grains, dried fruits, seeds, and many other healthy options are available as toppings. However, when it comes to the batter, the multi-purpose flour should ideally be replaced with either whole wheat flour, multi grain flour, or oatmeal flour for a healthier experience.
For a healthy banana and nuts muffin, take some mashed bananas add honey, egg, oil and mix it all together. Put some whole wheat flour in the mixture along with baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold it all together and put the mixture in our Ceramic Casserole. Bake it at 180 degrees for 22 minutes. Once done, carefully take the Casserole out using an oven mitt and top the muffin with your favorite nuts. We recommend using Walnuts.
There are endless other options that you can explore. Apple-Cinnamon muffins, berry muffins, chocolate muffins, are some of our favorites. You can also do other flavors like carrot muffins or zucchini muffins.
If you’re someone who likes experimenting, try baking a savory muffin. Some classic flavors include spinach, pumpkin, and cheese.

Dhokla
Dhokla is a fluffy, cake-like, Gujrati snack made by steaming gram flour (besan) with a few other ingredients. It is the perfect nashta (breakfast) for anyone who likes a light breakfast. While our Ceramic Casserole is a stunner when it comes to baking, it can also be used for steaming.
Dhokla only seems to be difficult to cook until you start cooking it. It is super simple, light, and super healthy. Just grease your Ceramic Casserole with a few drops of oil and start cooking.
Take some gram flour and add some water to make a paste out of the mixture. Make sure that you’re whisking it nicely enough for it lose all the lumps. Add some lemon juice, salt, and curd in the batter along with some green chilies and ginger paste. Mix it all together.
Get your pressure cooker ready with 3 cups of water in it and let it boil.
Add some fruit salt to the batter, mix it, and pour the mixture in your greased Casserole. Keep a stand inside the pressure cooker, and place the Casserole on it.
Put the pressure cooker’s lid on without the whistle and let it cook for 20 minutes. Use a fork to check if its ready or not. If the batter sticks to the fork, it means that the Dhokla needs more time inside the pressure cooker.
Take the Casserole out carefully and let it cool down.
For tempering, take a small pan and add oil, asafetida, mustard seeds, and green chilies in it. Now add some water and sugar. Cook it until it comes to a boil.
Now, pour this mixture on the top of your Dhokla, and garnish it with coriander leaves.
You don’t have to worry about the cutting the Dhokla into pieces even. Just grab a spoon and dig in straightaway.
Nestip: While Steaming takes about 20 minutes, you can also follow the same recipe and cook it in a microwave. Just place the Casserole inside the microwave for 8-10 minutes, and you’re good to go.
