Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup 100g Milk Powder, full cream best
  • 3/4 Cup 90g All Purpose Flour/Maida
  • 3/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 3/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cardamom powder
  • 1/4 Cup 48g Pure Ghee
  • 1/2 Cup 50g Powdered/Icing sugar
  • 1/2 Cup 120g plain Yogurt/Curd
  • 1/4 Cup Milk room temperature
Sugar Syrup
  • 1 Cup 200g Sugar
  • 1 Cup 240g Water
  • Pinch of Saffron strands
  • Pinch Cardamom Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Rose Essence

Method
 

  1. Sift together the Milk Powder, All Purpose Flour, Baking Powder, Soda and Salt in a mixing bowl. Add Cardamom/Elaichi Powder. Mix well to distribute the leavening agents evenly.
  2. In another bowl, mix together Ghee, Powdered sugar and whisked yogurt till smooth. Add the Dry Ingredients in small batches mixing well. Add milk to get a smooth flowing batter.
  3. Transfer to a greased glass pan. Bake @170C for 30-35mins. Took 35mins for a clean toothpick. Time may vary depending on the material or size of your pan so always check with a toothpick after 25mins.
  4. Once baked, poke holes on the surface of the cake and pour the sugar syrup. I used only 2 parts of it and kept one part to serve after slicing.
  5. Once Syrup is absorbed, decorate with edible Silver Vark optional and chopped pistachios. Slice into squares and serve with sugar syrup.
