I just discovered Anjum Anand's Indian Food Made Easy on BBC. She has a really cool presentation technique and her recipes are easy and delicious.
I made this in half an hour and it was a delicious, healthy meal.
Savory Semolina Cake
(original recipe here)
1 cup semolina
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup water
1/2 cup peas, cooked
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, grated
1 tsp each chilli powder, turmeric powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
For tempering:
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
Preheat oven to 200 deg C.
Mix together all the ingredients except the baking soda and the tempering.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the tempering ingredients turn off when the mustard seeds begin to pop. Add the tempering to the semolina mixture. Now add the baking soda. Pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Remove from oven and let it cool completely. Anjum suggests serving this with a green chutney but I enjoyed it just as it was - the vegetables and the spices were wonderful flavors for the semolina.

Ummmm! Looks yummy! healthy food and easy to make always attract me :)
This looks great! It reminds me of a souffle that my mom used to make for Thanksgiving, but it was mainly corn. I will definitely give this a try!
Savory cake sounds great and very tempting pieces
gocbep - thanks - yes it is very easy and delicious!! :) i'm still dreaming of your cinnamon squares! mmm
jamie - would love to make a corn souffle - must've been delicious!
cham - thanks!
How cool. I usually steam this kind of a recipe. It's similar to the instant dhokla recipe, but baking it something so new. I think my mom would be interested in this too, she's a very innovative cook.
This is so different! I like the baking part. Looks so fluffy and soft!
Thanks for a enlightening post.I've been very interested in savory semolina dishes as us Greeks use it alot for sweets.
This looks so delicious and healthy too. I should give it a try one day. Yummy yum!
My mom was telling me about this show... cake looks lovely :-)
These look yummy!They seem easy to make and healthy too.Thanks for sharing.
Read about this show on the Metro Plus but missed it. Love the idea of a savoury cake....
I loved this idea - Must taste some what like veg upma with a crust - right? Very pretty colour and pic:)
looks delicious. i'm guessing it'd taste even better with coarse wholegrain cornmeal.
Excellent recipe.Bookmarked.I loved it

Very nice recipe! I also read the baked samosas and its a fantastic idea!! These semolina bakes look very tasty too :)
This looks really interesting! I'm trying this over the weekend, I hae some semolina sitting at home, and this is a great new way to use it:)
As usual your pictures are fabulous!
A tarka for a cake? Is that what tempering is? Sounds like an interesting idea.
Wow, 'Semolina Cake'..it sounds so yummy and the ingredients are so simple.. same as our veg upma.. but this has some 'ishtyle!'.. will try this out when I get 'my kitchen'..:)
Hugs,
Siri
looks so delicious, a bit like gujarati 'handvoh'.
Nice pick!

This is great, a sort of baked vegetable uppuma?
A satisfying one dish meal.
Anu - am missing you :(
Hugs,
Siri
Thanks everyone - yes, it was delicious - I love most of her recipes.
It does taste a lot like baked upma with a crust but coarser.
Ranjani, so so glad you tried it and liked it!! :)
Love such recipes Have bookmarked it will surely give it a try. Best part we always have these ingredients at home.
It's like baked rava upma. But it looks so appealing and good than our regular upma. I'm going to try this very soon. Thank you so much for such and interesting and easy recipe.
Medhaa - Yes I liked the fact that the ingredients were easily available, and very forgiving too.
Madhuram - Yes its just liked baked upma with a nice crispy crust. quite delicious and a nice change from the usual upma.
that looks great, it must've tasted really yummy...caught up on the 3 missed posts now..great going man!!
I just know this was incredibly delish and my savoury tooth approves :)
Valli - thanks!
Lore - Yes, it was delish! Thanks for stopping by!
hey, thanks so much for this recipe. I have been meaning to make a vegetable savory cake for ages! I modified the recipe to exclude the yoghurt, added zucchini and have no baking powder/soda available. The cake's baking as we speak...fingers crossed it turns into something edible! :)
wow awesome
