  1. 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.

    1. 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 🙂
