Rawa cake
I have many childhood memories associated with this cake. My mom and grandmother used to make this delicious cake. Reason I liked this cake is because it had all good and healthy ingredients. Rawa (Semolina), very less shuddha desi ghee (butter made from cow's milk), milk thats it, only these ingredients were used to produce this beautiful aromatic cake.
Ingredients:
1 cup rawa (semolina)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup milk (you may require less)
1/4 cup ghee (butter)
1 tsp baking powder or soda
Pinch of salt
How to do it:
Beat ghee ans sugar together and make a nice paste of it, start adding rawa (semolina) to mixture. Keep mixing till all rawa (semolina) is incorporated. Start adding milk little at a time and keep mixing. You can add any flavor if you wish, but trust me a natural flavor of ghee and rawa (semolina) are simply best. We are looking to make mixture more like a slurry so don't add too much milk. Now add a pinch of salt and baking powder/soda in mixture. Give it a nice stir, cover and keep aside for about 2 hours.
After 2 hours check mixture, rawa (semolina) have socked in milk and may have absorbed it, if you see mixture has become little think then add some more milk to make it to pouring consistency. Your dough is ready. You can cook it under pressure cooker (make sure to remove whistle and rubber gasket) or over fry pan/tawa (skillet), just make sure cake tin should never come in direct contact with either pressure cooker, fry pan or tawa (skillet). You can use sand as a medium to heat transfer from fry pan/tawa (skillet). Bake cake in greased tin for about 20-30 minutes.
If you have oven then just pre-heat to 180 degree Celsius (360 Fahrenheit) and bake for about 20-30 minutes. Cake is considered ready once its top becomes golden brown. I prefer to use cake pin to make sure cake is baked evenly. This cake does not rise much so don't worry :)
This recipe belongs to my mother, many many thanks to her for everything :)

This is how mixture looks like
