Broken wheat steamed cake

Steamed foods  are my favourite dishes. Steamed food are super healthy. Back in my young age these type dishes are made in earthen woks. Now the cooking becomes easy with nonstick cookwares. Earthen wok is known as ‘ Kalam’ in Malayalam. So this dish is known as ‘kalathappam’ in Malayalam.

Ingredients 

Broken wheat 1 cup,

Water 2/12 cups,

Salt to taste.

Pressure cook these ingredients and keep aside.

Carrot 2, onion 1, ginger 1 inch piece, green chilli 2, all finely chopped.

Baking soda 1/2 tsp.

Preparation 

Mix the veggies into the cooked wheat mix, add baking soda, combine well and transfer into an oil brushed pan. Heat a nonstick wok, put the pan into the wok, cover it, close the hole on the lid of the wok. Leave the wok on low flame for 50-60 minutes.

Allow to cool down. It takes 2 hours. Upside down it on a plate. Cut it into desirable size and shape. Serve it with vegetable stew or kurma or with some pickles. Good for breakfast or dinner.
