A nutritious and healthy Indian style savory snack or breakfast loaded with aroma. This savory semolina cake is simple to put together with lots of vegetable and no butter or egg. The color comes from spices and topping of sesame seeds gives crunchiness. This easy savory cake adapted from Anjum Anand's cookbook. I would recommend having it in evening with a cup of tea or coffee.
