Some Pro Tips:
1. All the ingredients should be at room temperature.
2. Always pre-line the baking pan before starting the procedure.
3. Instead of eggs you can use half mashed banana and increase the quantity of milk till you get the pouring consistency.
4. If baking in OTG it might take 5-10 minutes less time (every microwave/OTG has different settings).
5. Do not open the oven to check on the bread again and again.
