Savory Semoina Cake

by Shaheen Ali

From past few days i had been baking a lot, from bread to cakes, from pasties to cookies… pheww! But hold on guys, this doesn’t mean i am tired of it. Baking is therapeutic , but the only concern for me is to keep a watch on my health. Recently i had been working on my diet regime hence i wanted to avoid APF and sugar as much as i could.


Early this morning while surfing on net, i came across a savory cake recipe which was healthy, nutritious , delicious and scrumptious. It’s Savory Semolina Cake. Though the original recipe had carrots and bell peppers too it in, but i chose to add just peas and corns. The recipe i made today is adapted from https://cooked.com.au/Anjum-Anand/Quadrille-Publishing/Indian-Food-Made-Easy/Light-meals-and-snacks/Savoury-semolina-cake-recipe with few innovations and variations done by me as per my requirement.
