Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup semolina (suji) The star of the show! Semolina gives the cake its unique texture.
  • 1 cup yogurt Adds moisture and tang, replacing eggs in this eggless recipe.
  • 1 cup sugar You can use less if you prefer it not overly sweet.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Ensures our cake is moist and tender.
  • 1 tsp baking powder Essential for that lovely rise.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda Helps with the leavening process.
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder Adds a delightful aroma and warm flavor.
  • a pinch salt Brightens the flavor and balances the sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup milk Adjusts the batter consistency.

Optional Topping

  • Chopped nuts Almonds and walnuts for topping, adding crunch.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients and tools. You’ll need a mixing bowl and a steamer or a pan that can hold water.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, yogurt, and sugar. Stir well and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
  • After resting, add vegetable oil, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom powder, and salt to the mixture. Mix well.
  • Check the batter consistency; if too thick, gradually add milk until pourable but not runny.
  • Preheat your steamer or pan filled with water and grease your cake tin.
  • Pour the batter into the greased cake tin and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts on top.

Cooking

  • Place the cake tin into the steamer or on a stand in a pan of boiling water. Cover and steam for 25-30 minutes.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Cooling and Serving

  • Once done, let it cool slightly in the tin before flipping it out onto a wire rack.
  • Serve warm or let it cool completely. Enjoy with tea or coffee.

Notes

Don’t skip the resting time for the semolina mixture; it’s essential for texture! Avoid overmixing to keep the cake fluffy. Ensure your steaming water doesn’t evaporate during cooking.
