Rava Banana Cake

Quick & easy Rava (semolina) banana cake in Microwave!
Ingredients

1-2 tbsp Ghee / Unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup rava (bombay rava, which we use for making upma)
3/4 cup jaggery
3 bananas – ripe / medium sized
1 pack thick coconut milk – (Dabur’s coconut milk 200 ml pack)
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

Method


1.Grease a microwave safe flat bowl with some ghee on your fingertips. Keep aside.
2.In a mixie, place the 3 peeled bananas with the jaggery / brown sugar, make a smooth paste and keep aside.
3.Heat the ghee in a heavy bottomed kadai, add the rava. On very low flame, constantly stir it around until it turns lightly golden. This part requires your full attention for 5-7 minutes and the slightest burnt rava will spoil the taste of the cake.
4.Once the rava turns in to light golden brown, turn flame to lowest possible, pour in the banana-jaggery paste, stir till it is nearly absorbed by the rava.
5. Meanwhile in a separate bowl, whisk the coconut milk, water, salt, baking powder, cardamom powder well and pour it into the rava mix in the wok. Stir well till ingredients are blended through.
6.Pour this mix into the greased microwave safe dish. Garnish with any nuts /dried fruits or candied fruit.
7.Microwave at 100% for 6 minutes. Check the degree to which the cake is cooked and then depending on that microwave at 80% for 2 minutes or so. Remove, cool and cut into squares /diamonds.
8. Serve warm.
