My kitchen has become more like a lab. I try out many new recipes from books, magazines and my collection. Sometimes, I try to modify the existing recipes and some turn out to be good and some becomes a disaster. But always have learnt lessons from disasters and have tried to perfect them in my next try. But here is one recipe which turned out to be good with the first try and was greatly appreciated by my friends.
Ingredients
- Semolina/ white rava – 2 cups
- Soy milk – 1 cup (curdled with a teaspoon of lemon juice)
- Onion – 1(chopped finely)
- Mixed veggies – 1 cup (I used frozen carrot, beans and corn)
- Cumin seeds- 1 teaspoon
- Green chili – 2 (slit)
- Mustard seeds – 1 (teaspoon)
- Baking soda- ¼ teaspoon
- Salt to taste
- Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
- Coriander leaves/ cilantro – 1 cup
Directions
1. Pre heat the oven to 350° F. grease a square cake pan.
2. Set a pan, add oil. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let it splutter. Add onions and green chilies, once they have become translucent, switch off the stove.
3. Mix semolina, salt and baking soda. Gradually add curdled soymilk and mix well. Stir in mixed veggies, fried onions and finely chopped cilantro.
4. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for 40 minutes or until the cake tester inserted comes out clean
5. Remove from pan, cool and slice it.
6. This cake is good as a evening snack with ketchup or mint chutney.
