🍦 From meeting @pooja_bavishi_ at the Fancy Food Show years ago to finally baking together in the kitchen—it’s been such a full-circle moment 🧡 We’ve collaborated before, but this was our first time side by side, making these Orange Cardamom Mini Muffins from her gorgeous cookbook Malai—and let me tell you, they’re little bites of sunshine. Bright orange zest, warm cardamom, soft fluffy texture… I’m obsessed! Pooja has been such an inspiration, blending her Indian and American roots into desserts that are bold, nostalgic, and full of heart. You can taste that same love in her ice cream shops @malai_icecream (Brooklyn, DC, Philly fam—go!!) Comment “MALAI” and I’ll send you a link to buy her cookbook! And make these muffins. Like, today. ✨
