Baking has taken all over me...I am just in love with it and is a real stress buster for me....I am always on a lookout for healthy yet delicious recipe ......This cake is one of my mother's signature recipe which she has been making for years....She made it on the Sunday mornings for the breakfast and sometimes when we had guests for evening teas.....And it has always been the shining star of the table....This is easy to make and the ingredients are not hard to find in your pantry......
All you need is
Semolina-1 cup
Yogurt- 1 cup
Water- 1\2 cup
Peas- 3\4 cup
Carrot-3 {grated }
Onion- 1 {chopped }
Ginger-1 inch piece {chopped }
Green chilli-1 {chopped }
Red chili powder-1\2 tsp
Turmeric powder-1\4 tsp
Salt
Oil- 2tbsp
Curry leaves-1 tbsp
Cumin seeds- 1\2 tsp
Mustard seeds-1\2tsp
Baking soda-1\2 tsp
Baking powder-1\2 tsp
Sesame seeds- 2 tbsp
Method of preparation
Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees
Oil and line a bread pan
In a bowl, mix together semolina, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt ,veggies and yogurt
Add water to make a batter
In a pan, add oil
When the oil is hot , add mustard seeds
When the seeds starts crackling, add cumin seeds and curry leaves
Add this oil in the batter

This is a very healthy lunchbox option for kids.....You can add the veggies of your choice and can make the batter before hand ...Just add the baking powder and baking soda at the time of baking and you are good to go.......
PS.-Always use parchment paper to line the pan.....I lined it with butter paper and the sides got stuck to it....
