I am dedicating this recipe to my mom. Mom is the source of inspiration for anything and everything in my life, including my passion for healthy cooking. Mom created simple healthy mouth watering dishes with just a few ingredients. She chose the ingredients with utmost care, paying a great deal of attention to their nutritive values. She used healthy cooking techniques. From her I learnt how to be appreciative of good things in life and goodness in others. “Never criticize the food or the person cooked the food. Be appreciative and thankful”. Mom is 100% vegetarian, so are her children. She never used eggs in her cooking. She was not a baker. This recipe requires no baking, no egg, and very little sugar. Fruits are the main ingredients. Kiwi, banana and blue berries are full of healthy nutrients, minerals, vitamins and anti oxidants. It is easy to make and simply delicious. “Mom, you would definitely enjoy this cake”

It would be nice to use 9 in diameter springform cake pan. I do not have it. Use any cake pan you have it. Line it with parchment paper. Crush the biscuits, or coarsely powder in a blender. Mix with the melted butter. Layer it in the cake pan. Press the crust hard to make an even layer. Layer the banana slices on the top of the crust, Cover the pan; refrigerate for an hour. I placed the cake pan on the cake stand
4

Filling: peel the kiwi; cut the flesh into small pieces. In a saucepan mix the fruit with sugar and lime juice, Keep the saucepan over medium low heat for a few minutes, until it makes a smooth paste. Turn of the heat. Let it cool completely. Add condensed milk and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
5

In a small bowl, dissolve the agar in ½ cup of Lukewarm water. Transfer the dissolved agar to a saucepan. Keep it over medium low heat. Let the agar dissolve completely. Then add this to the kiwi sugar curd mix. Mix well to make a smooth paste. Transfer the mix to the cake pan; level it with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate for six hours. I did it overnight. after refrigersation take it out
6

If you use spring form pan, it would be easy to get the cake out of the mould (cake pan). I did not get the cake out of the pan at this point. Before serving, I topped the cake with banana slices, kiwi slices and blue berries.
7

Delicious beautiful cake is ready to taste. It needs to be sliced for serving. I have a special kitchen scissors. I cut the parchment paper with the scissors. Then carefully lifted the sliced wedges, kept the slices on serving plate. Serve chilled. Bon Appetite!!!
