Upma Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup Roasted Suji
- 3/4 cup Yoghurt
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1/4 tsp Kitchen King Masala
- 2 tbsp Chopped Carrot
- 1 tbsp Chopped Coriander
- 1/4 tsp Chilli Flakes
- 1/4 tsp Chat Masala
- 2 tbsp Peas
- 1/4 tbsp Chopped Garlic
- 1 tbsp Chopped Onions
- 2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
Take a bowl and add Suji, Baking soda, Salt, Baking powder and mix well.
Beat yoghurt and mix well in the suji mixture and then add oil too and give it a gentle mix again.
Separately heat 1 tsp oil and saute garlic and onions and then add carrots and peas and cook for 2 mins on slow flame. Add little kitchen king, chat masala and then mix this into the suji and yoghurt batter.
Add Chilli flakes if you want and let the batter rest for 5 mins meanwhile preheat the oven and grease the tin. You can also use a baking sheet in case you have that at home.
After five mins check the batter if its very thick since Suji tends to soak the moisture, add little milk to balance it out and pour it in the baking tray.
Bake this at 180 degress Celsius for 25 mins. Depending on your baking dish do check in between at around 20 mins if the knife comes out clean. Once its done leave the cake in the oven for another 5 mins.
Once you take the cake out let it cool completely and then keep it in fridge for some 15 mins. This step is to make sure it some out clean.
I generally make cuts and then keep in fridge so the pieces come out neatly as Suji has a tending to break down easily. Enjoy these with some peanuts over it and a cup of warm milk or hot tea.
