Ingredients :

Besan (Gram Flour) : 1 Cup
Rice flour : 3 tsp
Suji : 2 tsp

Plain yogurt : 3 /4 Cup

Water : 1/2 Cup or as required
Chopped vegetables: Carrot, Green Beans, Cabbage (1/2 cup each)
Potato : 1 medium size boiled & cut into big pieces
Green peas : 1/2 cup
Chilli paste : 1 tsp
Garlic paste : 1 tsp
Corriender leaves : Handful
Cumin powder : 1 tsp
Corriender powder : 1 tsp
Red chilli powder : 1 tsp
Turmeric powder : 1 tsp
Sesme seeds : 2 tsp
Ajwain seeds : 1/2 tsp
Salt : as per taste
Sugar : 1tsp
Olive Oil : 4 tsp

Recipe :

1. Dry roast Gram flour for 5 minutes.
2. Add Rice flour & suji.

3. Add all vegetables along with peas & potato.

4. Add Coriander, cumin, chilli, turmeric powder and yoghurt.
5. Also add Chilli & Garlic paste.
6. Add water as required. Consistency should be little thicker than idli batter.
7. Add olive oil.

8. Grease the non stick pan with little oil. Pour the mixture into the vessel and spread it evenly. Add a few drops of oil on top so the cake won't stick to the Tava when you flip it.

6. Keep the vessel on Tava (Griddle) & cover it with lid . Keep on low flame.

7. Check the cake with a knife or tooth pick after 15to 20 min. The cake should be golden brown by now. At that time flip it on the Tava (Griddle) which is kept below.

8. Turn off the flame after 2 mins as the Tava (Griddle) is already hot. Keep it for a few minutes until the lower side of the cake becomes golden brown .

9. Cut into pieces as you like & enjoy with plain yoghurt or green chutney!!!.

If you want to bake in the oven time will be 40-45 minutes at 180 C.
