Eggless JAGGERY Wheat Cake using PRESSURE COOKER | without OVEN | without GHEE & BUTTER | without MAIDA

 Using Wheat flour and Jaggery, i prepared this soft cake. I added a minimum amount of sugar. 

INGREDIENTS:- ( use the same cup for all measurements)

Jaggery - 3/4 cup

Sugar -1/4 cup heaped

Wheat Flour - 3/4 cup

Cooking Oil ( Sunflower oil ) - 3/4 cup

Lukewarm Milk - 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp (if needed)

Salt - a pinch

Fruit Salt - 2 tsps

Few drops of water

 

METHOD:-

Pre-heat a Pressure cooker with salt and a stand. Do not use whistle and gasket. Pre-heat in medium flame for 10  to 15 minutes.

Grease a tray or bowl or mould with oil and send aside.

In a mixer jar, add Jaggery + Sugar + Wheat Flour and grind till sugar and jaggery are powdered. Restore it in a bowl. 

In the same mixer jar, add oil, milk and mix it in pulse mode for few seconds. 

 

Now add the Jaggery + Sugar + Wheat flour mix to the Oil + Milk mix and grind.

 

Add Fruit Salt with few drops of water. Mix with a spatula and Grind it in pulse mode in mixie for 3 times.

 

Now, add this to the greased bowl and tap the bowl to release air from the mix.

Place the bowl above the stand. Cover with pressure cooker lid. 

Let it bake for 5 minutes in high flame. Turn the flame to low for 30 to 40 minutes.

After 20 minutes, a nice baking aroma arises. Do not open the lid in between. Otherwise, the cake will not be fluffy and soft.

After the stipulated time, uncover the lid. Insert a knife or tooth pick, in cake, to check whether the cake is baked or not. Adjust the time accordingly.

Allow it to to cool  completely.  Scrap the sides using knife. Tap it over a plate.
