SEMOLINA CAKE (MANGO FLAVORED)

INGREDIENTS

• Semolina (rava/sooji) - 1 cup
• Mango - 1 medium sized sliced into cubes
• Milk (boiled & at room temperature) - as required
• Oil - 1/4th cup

• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cardamom (elaichi) - 1/2 teaspoon

METHOD

• In a mixer grinder, add mango cubes & add enough milk to grind it into a fine paste that is not too thick nor too liquid. 
• If it turns out to be too watery, cake will take a longer time to bake. Therefore, if it turns too watery, mix it with semolina & leave it aside for around 15-20 minutes such that semolina absorbs the liquid & becomes thicker.
• As you get the desired consistency, proceed with the next step.
• Next, mix semolina with sugar, cardamom & baking powder.
• Now, add oil & mix well.
• Next, add the mango pulp & mix again. You can even add nuts of your choice if desired. Let it sit for around 15 minutes.
• Grease a baking tin with oil & pour cake batter into the tin.
• Bake it at 175 degrees for around 25-30 minutes.
• You can check it by pricking a toothpick or a knife inside once after 20 minutes whether it is done or not.
• Once the knife comes out clean, take it out of the oven, invert & slice.
• Garnish with nuts.
