We have used fresh orange juice for the recipe. Squeeze out the juice from oranges and set aside.
Take sugar in a mixer jar and blend till powdered. Take powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Add curd and oil. Whisk well with a hand whisk till it combines well.
Now sift and add dry ingredients - wheat flour, corn starch, milk powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix gently using a spatula.
Now, gradually add orange juice and keep mixing. We have used a total of ¾ cup of fresh orange juice in the recipe. Do not add the whole quantity of juice at once. The quantity of juice will vary as per the quality of the flour.
The consistency of the batter should be such that it should easily drop from the spatula. You can adjust the quantity of liquid at this stage.
Line a muffin tray with paper muffin liners.
Pour the batter into them. Make sure you do not fill them entirely. Just pour the batter till they are filled 3/4th.
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20-22 minutes. Be alert and check after 20 minutes. Baking time will vary for every convection/oven.
Remove from the oven. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and let them cool.

Notes
Do not add the whole quantity of juice at once. The amount of juice will vary as per the quality of the flour. If you are using all-purpose flour (maida), then use about ½ cup juice.
Baking time depends on your convection. We suggest you remain alert after 20 minutes. You may bake for a few more minutes if the muffins are not ready.
All the ingredients for the muffin batter should be at room temperature.
If you use maida, the quantity of liquid required in the recipe will be less.
You may even add chopped chocolate pieces or chocolate chips
Quantity of Sugar
The quantity of sugar in the recipe will vary depending on the taste of the oranges. If oranges are sweet, then the sugar quantity will be reduced.
If you use store-bought orange juice containing sugar, the sugar in this recipe will be reduced to just 1-2 tablespoons. Taste the batter and then add the sugar accordingly.
