Namaste!
Today we'll bake sooji cake in cooker.
This cake has a different taste.
Let's bake the cake in the cooker.
Take a bowl and
add 1/2 cup ghee,
1/2 cup curd,
and mix properly.
Dahi and ghee should be at room temperature.
Do not add it after
taking it out from fridge.
Add 1 cup of sugar powder.
Add 1.5 cup sooji,
take finely ground sooji.
Pour the sooji in the bowl.
Add little water
and mix well.
Add more milk,
you can add more milk if you
think the batter is still thick.
Sooji absorbs liquid quit well.
The batter is ready.
Though batter looks thin
but
we'll leave it for 15-20 minutes
so that sooji can puff.
In the meantime,
chop the almonds.
Make cardamom powder.
[After 15 minutes]
Sooji has puffed.
Heat the cooker.
Turn on the stove.
Put salt in the cooker.
The salt colour is quite different
because I used it for quit many times.
I use this salt whenever I bake a cake.
When done baking the cake.
Cool the salt and store it in a jar.
And use it whenever you want.
Spread the salt evenly at the bottom.
Put a stand over the salt.
Do not keep the batter
in direct contact with salt.
Cover the cooker with a lid.
Add 2 tsp of raisins in the batter.
And 2 tbsp of tutti fruit
and 5-6 almonds.
Mix everything.
Add Eliachi powder.
The batter looks thick,
so add little milk in it.
The batter consistency would be similar to
the maida batter for making cake.
The batter is ready.
Ready a cake container too.
Grease the container with ghee.
Place the butter paper in the container.
Apply ghee above the paper too.
The container is also ready.
Add baking soda in the batter.
Add 1/2 tsp of baking soda.
Mix it properly.
The batter is ready now.
Spread tutti fruit in the cake container.
Spread some raisins too.
Almonds too.
So, there will be dried fruits
at the bottom too.
Stir the batter ones more.
Pour the batter in the cake container.
Use any container of steel or aluminum,
that can be fitted in the cooker.
The batter evenly.
We have used less than 3/4 cup of milk.
Spread some tutti fruit,
some raisins,
and almond at the top.
We have heated the cooker properly.
You can sense the heat with you hands.
Turn the flame to low.
We have to bake the cake at a low flame.
Place the cake container in the cooker.
Close the cooker and
do not put the pressure regulator.
Let the cake bake.
Check the cake.
By the look,
we can guess the cake is ready.
As the corners of the cake are golden brown.
Insert the knife in the cake.
And pull it out.
If it is clean then the cake is ready.
The cake is well baked.
The cake took 1 hr 5 mins to bake.
The time when the cake will be ready
depends upon the size and flame
of the batter.
It also depends upon the
kitchens temperature.
The cake is ready.
Turn off the stove.
Container and cooker is very hot,
taking out the cake container carefully.
Allow the cake to cool down.
After that, we'll pull it out.
The cake has cooled down.
Take out the cake from the container.
Scrape the corners of the cake.
Place a plate above the container
and turn the container upside down.
Beat the container from the above.
Pull the container upward.
Here we pulled the cake out.
The bottom has turned golden brown.
And it is well baked from above too.
Sooji Cake is ready now.
We have baked the cake nicely.
It is ease to prepare.
Keep certain things in mind.
While preparing batter,
make sure the batter
is not too thick or thin.
Add baking soda after measuring.
Do not add too much baking soda.
You can store the cake for
15-20 day in the refrigator.
The cake is very spongy and tasty.
Prepare this cake
and have it.
