for garnish

1 tspbaking soda

Instructions

Step 1

Mix all ingredients from part 1 in a large bowl and keep in warm place for 6-8 hours.

Step 2

Make tempering by heating oil. Add mustard seeds and once they start spluttering, turn the heat off, add sesame seeds and dried red chillies.

Step 3

Add all the ingredients from Part II and the tempering to the dough. Mix well.

Step 4

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking pan by greasing all the sides.

Step 5

Add baking soda to the batter and mix well. Pour the batter in the cake pan, I used a spring foam pan but a bundt cake pan or any baking dish works well. Garnish with sesame seeds from part IV on top.

Step 6

Bake between 30-45 mins, checking after first 25 minutes. For my convection oven it takes exactly 25 mins and then I broil for the last 5 mins to get a crispy browned top.
