Badam Katli, Gajar Halva, Kheer, yes yes these traditional sweets are all-time favorites but fusion desserts are really trending nowadays. Kids especially are more excited and inclined towards not-so-conventional desserts. Cupcakes are loved by kids and adults alike so they stand a better chance of being a hit at any party.
Fusion cupcakes for every occasion
These Indian-style cupcakes will bring plenty of flavor, freshness, and style to your dinner table for sure. These are not just classic vanilla cupcakes. I have upgraded them with some more deliciousness. As Diwali is around the corner, I decided to make cupcakes infused with Indian flavors. Think saffron, cardamom, nuts, and rose!!!! These ingredients play an important role in most Indian desserts. Whenever I make them, it reminds me of home! It brings back all the memories about the pedas, burfi, and assorted mithai that my dad used to get it from the sweet shop back in India.Through this recipe, I just tried to give those sweets a makeover.
A great beginner recipe
The photos might look intimidating but I promise you that this cupcake recipe is super easy for anyone who hasn’t baked before or is just a beginner. You do not need any professional skills to put up these beauties. Just the ingredients, cupcake pan, liners, and a piping bag.
You will love these Indian Flavor Cupcakes because –
Uses easy to find ingredients The cupcake batter is made with easy-to-find ingredients like flour, milk, baking powder, soda. You will surely have everything needed to make these eggless cupcakes at home. Variety of flavor with just one recipe! I have used just one flavor batter for this recipe. You can add variations like rose, thandai, badam, or pistachio flavor by playing around with the toppings. Forgiving frosting For last-minute frosting, I trust cool whip. It is whipped cream found in the freezer section. Just use as suggested on the package, no need to add sugar or whip it. It is my go-to ready to use frosting.
Glam it up with easy decoration
I have decorated these cupcakes with a quick swirl with some nuts and rose petals on the top. For making it extra special I have filled the pipettes with rose milk and thandai milk for an extra kick of Indian flavors.
For specialty cupcakes – Using pipettes is fun!!!
I love filling pipettes with different flavored syrups or drinks and sticking them in the cupcakes. These are mostly used to infuse boozy shots of alcohol in a cupcake. Here, I have filled them with non-alcoholic flavored milk so that everyone including the kids can enjoy them. This just adds so much more taste to them. Pipettes will really upgrade your basic cupcakes to special ones.
Special cupcake liners used!
Note that these cups are bigger than the standard cupcake liners, which means you need more batter to fill them. KEEP IN TOUCH – Are we friends yet?
