Vettu Cake / Tea Time Snack

Vettu cake is a sweet fried tea time snack which can be found in the glass cabinets of most tea shops in Kerala. It is very easy to make and just taste like a cake.

1. All purpose flour-1cup
2. Semolina (rava) – 2 1/2 tbsp.
3. Sugar –2tbsp.
4. Egg-1
5. Cardamom powder-1/4tsp
6. Baking powder-1/4tsp
7. Oil-for deep fry

Preparation:

• Beat egg and sugar in a blender.
• Mix all purpose flour, semolina, baking powder and cardamom powder in a bowl.
• Add egg mixture in to the flour and make dough.
• Cover it with a wet towel and rest for 30 minutes.
• After 30minutes; take the dough and divide them in to small balls (half the size of lemon).
• Take a ball and flatten it little in your palm.
• Now make "x" mark on top with the help of a knife (Or roll the dough in to half inch thickness; Cut it in to square pieces and make an ‘x’ shape cut on each square ).
• Prepare all the balls in this way (check video below)
• The size of the vettu cake will double or triple  when we fry it; so make sure to cut in the correct thickness and length.
• Drop them in to hot oil; after that make the flame to very low (else the inner side didn't cook for sure).
• Deep fry in low flame until golden  in color

Note:

• The oil should not be so hot; so that the outside get burned and the inner side not cooked well
