Add sautéed vegetables along with grated carrot, ginger and green chillis to the batter and make a smooth batter of medium consistency.
Now add baking soda and transfer the mixture into a greased mold (I used a silicon mold to avoid any greasing). Sprinkle chili flakes and oregano on top of it. Keep this mold in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 20-25 min or till it passes the toothpick test.

I made Savory muffins and put 1tsp soda as per recipe but it was bitter and badly smelling of soda …. why it happened
Hello Nalini,
Every brand of soda is different hence try the recipe with a reduced amount of soda.
Happy Baking!

Madam….. your recipes are fabulous… am trying one by one… pl clarify the measurement difference of adding fresh instant yeast and active yeast(granules).. I have fresh yeast…
Dear Radha, Thanks for your appreciation. This motivates.
Your comment is on a recipe where you do not need yeast. However, because you have asked, let me answer your question.
For every 5gm of instant yeast, you should use 20gms of fresh yeast. Take it as a thumb rule.
Hope this helps.
