STEAM CAKE
Steam Cake is a well-known breakfast in Kerala. This breakfast is not spread in India and is not too much publicity received for this item.
Even though people are preparing their food throughout their living moments and life goes with food for all.
1. rice powder not smooth powder 2 cups
2. salt - 1/2 tbsp
3. crushed coconut - 1/2 cup
4. Water - 1 cup use wisely to make a sticky powder form batter.
5. Steam Cake Maker - Vessel
Mix the water with rice powder and do not pour too much water and should not be too stickey.
Add salt as required and taste it for salt.
Keep aside the Water mixed rice powder.
Take steamer and place its pot on the flame and add one or two class water into it and start with medium flame. Let it boil then use the steamer sphere-shaped to make the steam cake and put its net on the bottom of sphere shaped steamer through its upper portion. Use a stick to align it at the bottom add rice mix two or three tbsp and then add one layer of coconut crushed then again repeat the same process and at last the coconut layer will be on the top of the steamer. Close the steamer and place it on the lower pot of steamer properly, if there is any alignment error, the steam cake will not bake properly, so as to avoid losing steam from the middle portion use some cotton cloth to tie around at the joining place of the pot and steaming vessel after placing the steamer on the face of the lower pot.
Thereafter bake for 3-4 minutes in medium flame when you see the steam coming from the top and a soothing smell out of the steamer, remove it and take a stick to push the bottom net of steamer, if it is properly boiled the steam cake will be properly bonded together and nice steam cake without spreading the rice powder will be seen, otherwise you will have to bake it again to get proper bonding.
Try it if possible else the choice is yours it is another stunning breakfast and it can be used with chana curry.
