Today I am sharing an Easy Savoury Semolina Cake which is so healthy, delicious and fully packed with vegetables and which is so easy to prepare without any eggs and all-purpose flour. This cake is perfect for tea time, breakfast and even you can pack this cake for kid’s lunch box.
The best part of this cake is you can add all your favourite veggie in it. Semolina cake is nothing but Rava Upma. It is a big hit in my family. To my shock, my kids liked it a lot because usually, they don’t like veggies that much and I have to force them to eat.
Coming to the recipe this cake is prepared by mixing rava and yoghurt with little water and then adding veggies along with some spices and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. This Rava /semolina cake is a little bit spicy and dense.

I had baked this sometime back and it was so good! Must make them again sometime... Looks so tempting...
This makes a great grab and go breakfast or snack. I am sure even the upma haters would love this loaf.
This would be good for lunch box. Like you said, this elevated version of our humble upma, will be a treat for kids.
This looks amazing! I wondered, how much curry leaf do you use? I’m new to using it, so any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! 🙂
Thank you Lia, just use 3 or 5 leaves. Suppose if you don't find them, skip it.It just adds nice flavour to the cake.
wow..love this savory cake..bookmarking.The colors and texture look awesome , surely a treat.
This is a wonderful way of serving kids with upma. Usually as upma they hesitate but in cake avatar it would be finished off easily. Love your veggie loaded version.
