Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 100 g semolina
  • 2 table spoons plain flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 table spoon ghee
  • 50g sugar
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder / vanilla extract
  • 10 cashew nuts
  • 5 almonds
Instructions
  1. Dry roast semolina in low heat. It'll take around 5 mts. Keep it aside to cool. Once cooled slightly, add the plain flour to it and mix.
  2. Beat the eggs and sugar till fluffy.
  3. Add the cardamom powder ( I've used vanilla extract). Beat again to combine.
  4. Add the semolina and flour, mix well for another minute.
  5. Heat a flat pan-cake pan / heavy bottom flat skillet along with a sauce pan.
  6. In the large sauce pan, preferably non-stick, add ghee and melt it.
  7. Once the ghee is melted add in the batter. Transfer the sauce pan on top of the pan-cake pan. Here my pan-cake pan is of cast iron.
  8. Cover and cook in very low fire for 5 mts.
  9. Add in the chopped nuts at this stage. Cover and cook for another 10-12 mts.
  10. Remember to check after 10 mts.
  11. Just like the normal cake check if the cake is done inserting a bamboo skewer. If it comes out clean switch off the gas and remove the pan from the heat.
  12. Slowly separate the cake from the sides and transfer to a plate.
  13. Enjoy !
