Instructions:

* Prep the milk: In a bowl, add vinegar to lukewarm milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to curdle. This acts as a buttermilk substitute and helps in making the muffins fluffy.

* Mix the wet ingredients: Add mango puree, mango essence (if using), and your sweetener (jaggery or honey) to the curdled milk. Whisk until well combined.

* Add dry ingredients: Sift in whole wheat flour, milk powder, cardamom powder, baking powder, salt, and ENO (or baking soda). Gently fold everything together—do not overmix.

* Grease and pour: Lightly oil silicone muffin cups or ramekins. Pour the batter in, filling each about ¾ full.

* Airfry it: Preheat your airfryer to 160°C (320°F). Place the muffin cups inside and cook for 10-12 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check—it should come out clean when done.

* Cool & enjoy: Let them cool slightly before serving. They’re soft, moist, and loaded with real mango goodness.

Health Benefits:

* Whole Wheat Flour: Packed with fiber and nutrients, better than refined flour for gut health and sustained energy.

* Mango Puree: Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and natural sweetness.

* Jaggery or Honey: Natural sweeteners with trace minerals, better than refined sugar.

* Milk Powder & Milk: Provide calcium and a small protein boost.

* Airfrying: Minimizes oil usage, making it lighter and healthier than traditional baking or frying
