I have been part of many baking groups and I was posting all the challenge recipes up to date but when there were some problems, I just stopped concentrating on my blog. If you see there would be so many months I would have posted only 2 or 3 recipes and some times it is just sheer laziness or blogger’s block. What ever fancy name I give, my blog viewership declined and I was forced to decide on taking blogging seriously. I see this mega BM as a tool for me to start blogging regularly. And I am also planning on doing the baking challenges regularly. I made this recipe as part of the Home Baker’s Challenges last month. But as I wanted this to feature in this month’s mega marathon, I just skipped posting this last month.
The original recipe was a combination of feta cheese and spinach leaves. I don’t get feta here and I didn’t have a bunch of spinach at the time I decided to do it. So again I made a spicy Indianized version using kasoori methi and tofu. This muffin even has cumin powder for the flavour. Isn’t it Indian? I served it along with green chutney and it was super duper hit. I think I am going very creative for this marathon. Hubby liked it very much.
