Many of you ask what jaggery I prefer. Here's one of my favorite brands. I am not sponsoring this but just wanted to give you a peep into it.


Ingredients

1 cup=240 ml 1/2 cup- semolina 1/4 cup- malai 1/4 cup+2 tbsp jaggery 2 tbsp- whole wheat flour 1/2 tsp- baking powder 1 tbsp- apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp- cocoa powder 1/4 cup- water (you may add up to 2-4 tbsp more if the batter gets too thick) 1/4 cup- almond flour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhgZ7oYxhYY) 1/4 tsp- salt



So you need 1/4 cup +2 tbsp jaggery powder or grated jaggery.  

Mix with 1/4 cup of malai or cream that floats on top of milk. 

Malai gives the semolina eggless cake richness. But if you want to use less fat, take 2 tbsp of malai or oil and 2 tbsp of thick curd. 

Add 1/4 TSP salt. Start whipping until mixed. 

I wanted to make the cake without baking powder soda so creamed it a little too much that the milk curdled but it did not fail the recipe. However, I suggest whipping only until it looks all mixed.

Now add 1/4 cup of water and mix again. 

Next 1 tbsp of cocoa powder goes in. 

Then add 1/4 cup of homemade almond flour or powder. 

Mix.I have posted the video to make almond flour at home already. 



Let's  add 1/2 cup of semolina. I use whole wheat coarse semolina so always read the label when you buy sooji.  

Mix everything and add 2 tbsp of whole wheat flour. Mix well. Set aside for 30 minutes. 

After 30 minutes, the sooji should have absorbed the moisture. 

Preheat oven, airfryer, otg, convection to 160 deg c for 10 minutes.

Add 1/2 TSP of baking powder and 1 TSP of apple cider vinegar or lime juice. Mix well. 

Do not overmix. Grease a baking tin and dust with flour or flaxmeal. 

I use stainless steel utensils in Airfryer.

Pour the thick batter into the tin and tap it 3-4 times to release gas bubbles.

Bake the eggless chocolate cake at 160 deg c for 40-45 minutes or more until a skewer comes out clean. Allow the jaggery cake to cool down properly before slicing. To prevent the suji cake from breaking, shift it to the fridge for at least 2 hours. I cut the cake before it had cooled properly so it got cracks. Slice and enjoy yumm chocolate cake.

Is Fermented Rice Healthy? How Do You Ferment Rice [Odisha's Pakhala Bhaat Recipe]

 What is the meaning Pakhala bhaat? Is Pakhala good for health? Is fermented rice healthy?  Or in other words, does curd rice have b12? These are some of the questions that have been asked every now and then. So in this video from the Odia cuisine, I present to you Odisha special Pakhala - the ancient Odia tradition of fermenting rice. Now coming back to making Pakhala at home. I dedicate this video to my mother-in-law, who has taught me some simple ways to ferment rice with and without curd.  The idea is to cook rice in water, primarily you will need to boil rice in a lot of water. Drain off excess water and let the rice come to room temperature. Then mix it with curd, salt, and water and store in an earthen clay pot. Since we want to ferment rice, the idea is to leave it overnight at room temperature - ideally in a cool location, which is not too hot.  By next morning, the rice should have fermented - teeming with colonies of healthy bacteria. If you use brown rice...

Soaking turns pumpkin seeds water green | Is it SAFE?

 Pumpkin seeds cause water to develop a green tint mainly because they contain chlorophyll, the natural pigment that gives plants their green color. This phenomenon occurs through several interconnected processes that involve the seed's cellular structure and pigment composition. Raw pumpkin seeds, particularly the hulled green varieties commonly known as pepitas, contain significant amounts of chlorophyll. This is the same compound responsible for photosynthesis in plants and creates the distinctive green appearance in leaves, stems, and other plant tissues. The chlorophyll concentration in pumpkin seeds is naturally high since these seeds develop within the green interior of the pumpkin. When pumpkin seeds are soaked in water, their cellular walls begin to soften and break down gradually. This process allows water molecules to penetrate the seed structure and extract various compounds, including pigments. Although chlorophyll isn't completely water-soluble in its pure chemica...
