Making Mug Cakes Without Dryness
- Always use curd or a bit of yoghurt to keep millet-based batters nice and moist.
- Add oil or fat in measured amounts to soften the crumb.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added.
- Bake it in short bursts to avoid overcooking.
- Ensure the batter is thick but still pourable.

- Let the cake rest for a minute or two after it comes out of the microwave before eating.
