Ingredients:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups sifted gram (chickpea flour)
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • Pinch of ground red chili pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 2/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons warm water
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter

  6. Mix the baking powder, baking soda, and warm water into the yogurt mixture. Once the batter begins to bubble, pour it into the cake pan.
