Ragi is a healthy millet which has a lots of iron and nutrients. This cake is made by adding jaggery in it instead of sugar which is also another benefit. By adding chocolate flavour to this makes it kids favourite.

Steps

1 Hr 15 mins

1

In a wide bowl add curd and jaggery. Mix well with whisker until jaggery gets dissolved.
2

Now place a seiver above the same bowl and add Ragi flour, fine sooji, cocoa powder and 1 tsp of baking powder. This seived flour is now added in curd and jaggery mixture. Mix it well in one direction without lumps.
3

Add coarsely ground dry fruits of your choice to this mixture. Mix well. Add oil to this and prepare a lump free batter.
4

Take half cup milk and add it little by little to this batter. Mix well with the help of whisker. Add a tsp of vanilla essence and mix well. Here about 2 tbsp milk is left. Allow this batter to rest for 20 minutes.
5

While the batter is allowed to rest that time, In a pressure cooker add salt. Place a plate and stand above it. Cover it with lid, without gasket and whistle. Pre heat this for 10 to 15 minutes.
6

After 20 minutes as we have added sooji the batter will become little thick. Add ghee, 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 tbsp milk.Whisk it and check the batter consistency. It should be thick but of flowing consistency.
7

Pour this prepared batter in a greased cake mould. Garnish it with dry fruits. I have added chopped cashews and almonds. Place this carefully inside the preheated cooker.
8

Cover and bake for 45 to 50 minutes on low flame.After 45 minutes check it by piercing knife inside it. If it comes out clean then the cake is baked.
