Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Sugar Powder

   Take 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 cardamom pods (peeled) in a mixer jar. Blend until it forms a fine powder.

2. 2.Blend Wet Ingredients

   Add 3 eggs to the powdered sugar in the mixer jar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy, with no lumps.

3. 3.Sift Dry Ingredients

   Pour the blended wet mixture into a large mixing bowl. Place a sieve over the bowl and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tbsp baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Sift all dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

4. 4.Combine Batter

   Using a whisk, gently mix the dry and wet ingredients in one direction until well combined and smooth. If the batter feels too thick, you can add a little milk (not shown in video, but mentioned as an option).

5. 5.Add Oil and Vanilla Essence

   Gradually add 1/4 cup of cooking oil to the batter while continuously whisking in one direction until fully incorporated. Then, add 1 tsp of vanilla essence and mix again until the batter reaches a ribbon consistency.

6. 6.Prepare Molds

   Take small steel bowls and grease them with oil, then dust lightly with all-purpose flour to prevent sticking. For paper cup cupcakes, place paper liners inside the steel bowls.

7. 7.Fill Molds

   Pour the cupcake batter into the prepared steel bowls, filling each about halfway. Sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top of the batter in each bowl. Gently tap the bowls to release any air bubbles.

8. 8.Bake Cupcakes

   Preheat a large, thick-bottomed pot (ganja) with a stand inside for 5-10 minutes on medium heat. Carefully place the filled bowls onto the stand inside the pot. Cover the pot with a lid and bake on medium flame for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a fork or toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready.

9. 9.Cool and Serve

   Once baked, carefully remove the cupcakes from the pot and let them cool. For cupcakes in steel bowls, use a knife to loosen the edges and gently remove them. Peel off the paper liners from the paper cup cupcakes. The cupcakes are now ready to be enjoyed!
