Скачать или смотреть Easy Goan Cucumber Cake | Tavasali | With Jaggery

A simple and delicious recipe that is equally amazing! Amazing because of its simple hero ingredient— Cucumber. I enjoy how the process of cooking just makes any vegetable, fruit or grain shine through in unexpected ways :) This recipe has Semolina (Rava/Sooji), Jaggery and Coconut. A little necessary fat is provided by Vanaspati, but you may use Ghee. This particular demonstration shows a healthy, vegan cake that can be cherished with your afternoon tea or coffee.

This is a recipe I learnt from my sister-in-law, Rosita. A cake could not get any simpler than this. Mog Asum❤️
