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.

Ingredients:

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
