EGGLESS MANGO SEMOLINA CAKE


This is a perfect summer treat for your family.  

I have tried baking different types of cakes, but the cakes with seasonal fruits are the best ones. 

The advantage of using fruits in the cake is that you can use less sugar as the fruits  used have natural  sweetness.

The texture, colour & taste of this cake totally depends on the quality of mangoes used.  I have tried using different mangoes but Alphonso variety gave the best results. 

This is a very easy, simple & super delicious cake which can be enjoyed during tea time. 

I have baked it in the air fryer.  You can bake it in oven or in the cooker. 

Here is a step by step recipe.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional
