Savoury cakes are very popular in France and usually served as an apero. I made a similar cake a while ago when I’d made an Indian meal for friends. It went down well though I did have to dial down the spices, as the French generally don’t like spicy food.
Can this be steamed instead of baked ?
Hi Sneha, I haven’t tried but I think you can steam it too
To be honest I don’t know.
Poppy seeds means?
Hi Bhavna it is khus khus
Hi.shld we dry fry the semolina
Not as far as I’m aware.
Can you let me know what is “curd” as I am from Canada and not familiar with it. This recipe sounds fabulous and would fit into our gluten free diet. Appreciate your reply.
Yogurt
Curd is just like yogurt. You can replace it with yogurt.
The Gujrati dish is Handvo not Kandvo like mentioned.
Yes Sheetal, its a typo error. corrected now. Thank you
I think it’s type of handvo
Can i use roasted semolina too ?
Yes Komal you can
Did you use fine suji or coarse suji. I am in US and we get two kinds here
I used the one we make upma and halwa.. you can any of it, depending upon your preference..few people don’t like the coarse texture of the suji in the cake, in that case one can use the fine variety 🙂
Thanks for this delicious and healthy recipe.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I am glad you liked it
Thanks for this fabulous recipe. Could we make it in the microwave?
You can bake at microwave convection mode
Hi.shld we dry fry the semolina
Raw or roasted, both will do
What binds them together? Wouldn’t they crumble and fall apart without eggs or binding agent?
No it won’t crumble
The batter combo seems exactly as we mix for Rava idlis! good innovation to bake them instead of steaming!! 🙂
Yeah! Also, the effort is less. Just mix and throw it in the oven and it’s done. Love the idea. I am going to try it today.
Is the baking temperature of 180 centigrade of Fahrenheit?
Thanks!
Yes.. its 180°C
Thank you for prompt response!
I tried and it came out good thanks for the recipe
Very delicious! Thanks a lot. It was a bit dry….how can I make it moist?
You can increase the yogurt like ½ cup and ¼ -½ cup oil
