Srivalli's Kitchen: Banana Semolina Cake in Microwave

Ingredients:

Method:

Use ripe banana for this cake. Mash it into a pulp or grind it in the mixer to a smooth paste.
To this add honey and sugar. Mix well till the sugar melts. Now add semolina/rawa an mix.
Slowly start to add buttermilk and keep mixing. Add milk little by little to make the mix resemble a semi liquid state.
Now let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This will help the rawa soak the liquid.
After 20 minutes add ghee/oil, essence, baking powder and baking soda.
If you feel the mix is too thick add some milk. This batter should not be runny.
Grease a microwave safe dish, pour the batter and place in microwave.
First set time for 4 minutes on power 80% which is a little less than 'high'.
Check to see how it is done.
Mine took another 2 minutes extra and it depends on the microwave.
To check insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean it is done.
Let it cool and then invert onto a plate.
Cut into pieces and serve with chocolate sauce or ice cream.

Tips:

If adding unsweetened cocoa powder make sure to add more sugar.
You can use only honey or only sugar. Just increase the quantity accordingly.
This recipe needs only 1 tbsp of ghee which is very less compared to other recipes, so it is healthy as well.
Add baking powder and baking soda only at the last. Mix once well, transfer and immediate bake.
The microwave tends to cook even after the time ends so let it sit for at least half a minute in the hot microwave after it shows 'End'.
If the top still feels a little sticky but the toothpick comes out clean, do not put it back in again.
It will settle down proper while cooling.
You can add choco chips or sprinklers to the batter before baking.
You can also pour some chocolate ganache as topping for decoration.
Mine doesn't usually get the smell of banana but some complain of it. The essence should usually do the trick of masking the smell.
