Hello Dear Reader, are you a person who prepare ghee at
home? If so, what do you do the residue!? I used to throw it or used to apply
on the skin of kids before bath if they are in good mood! Recently a friend and
food blogger Shrikripa posted the cake recipe using ghee residue in her blog! Tried
this out when I prepared ghee last time with fewer changes in original recipe! My
goodness, it is such a soft, moist cake anyone will like it with tea. It is obviously
a very good utilization of this dairy by-product, which otherwise usually
thrown off! I believe it will have the goodness though very sure about the
nutritional facts!!
Thank you Shrikripa!

Chopped dry fruits (Almond/cashews) - 2 tbsp (optional)
Method:
- Scrape out and collect the ghee residue. You can use the same vessel to prepare the batter if it is wide enough.
- Add Buttermilk and sugar, stir to dissolve sugar.
- Add in all the dry ingredients like rava, flour, Sugar, salt, cinnamon powder, baking soda and baking powder.
- Mix well with a spatula so that there is no lump formed.
- Add in the chopped dry fruits & mix once again.
- Grease baking tray, pour the batter.
- Now preheat the oven to 180deg Celsius. By then, rava will absorb the moisture well and batter will be ready! Bake it for 20-25 minutes. It took 25 minutes for me.
- Allow to cool down, invert the cake. Cut and serve warm with tea or coffee!
