When I prepare ghee at home, I use this super beneficial ghee residue in preparing roti dough /methi Parata or this very mild flavored cake. I have already posted one chocolate cake using pea protein in my earlier post. This time it is my all-time favorite Cinnamon or Cardamom flavored tea cake.
Ingredients:
Ghee residue – 2-3tbl
Milk – 1 cup
Sugar – ¾ cup
Chiroti rawa/fine semolina – 1 cup
Cinnamon powder- ½ tsp.
Eno fruit salt -1tsp
Salt – ¼ tsp.
Slivered Almond – 2 table spoon (optional)
Method:
-Take vessel in which you prepare ghee. There will be 2-3 table spoon ghee residues.
-To this add milk, sugar and heat it until sugar dissolves. Switch off and cool.
-In another bowl, dry mix semolina/rawa, cinnamon powder, salt.
-Mix both and keep it aside for five minutes, at this time rawa will absorb all the moisture.
-After 5 minutes, add Eno fruit salt, mix nicely and pour this mixture into a baking tin.
-If you want to add slivered almond at the top to enhance its taste and nutritional value.
-Place this tin in a preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or till done, at 180 C.
Note: you can replace rawa with Ragi (finger millet flour) and wheat flour. If you are using only flour, add 1 ½ cup, because it absorbs less moisture than the rawa.

Hello
Can I replace the sugar with jaggery?
Shrikripa U July 13, 2019
For this cake, till now i have not used jaggery. I think it should work ( jaggery powder) Pashmina.
