Instructions
- Roast the rawa (semolina) till it is light brown or till aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for atleast 20 minutes.

- Add the jackfruit puree into a mixing bowl and mix all the ingredients namely jaggery, grated coconut, dry fruits, cardamom powder and salt and add them into a flat baking dish.
- You can either steam this cake or you can bake it.
- I steamed the cake for 20 minutes using double boiler method.
- Then I used a frying pan, spread 2 tablespoon ghee on it and fried the cake on both sides.
- Alternatively, you can bake this cake in OTG for 30-40 minutes at 180C.
- Insert a knife in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean, it means that the cake is done.
