Serve hot or cold as an evening snack. Chotu loved to have these after school.

Tips:

1. I used cheddar cheese & parmesan cheese. U can skip parmesan cheese and use any cheese of your choice.
2. U can use a combination of wheat flour & all purpose flour.
3. If the muffin batter it too thick or dry, add a splash of milk to get the right consistency.
4. Be careful while adding salt as both the cheeses have salt in it.
5. U can add some finely chopped green chilies or chilli flakes for a more spicier version.
