About:

It is a light tasting savory cake; the inside tastes like vegetable Upma/Rava Idli but with lightly crusted outside. As an added bonus, it is healthy, low fat and guilt free snack too. Good one to snack on as is or as an accompaniment with afternoon tea/coffee.

The process of making this is simple and straight forward. It is versatile too and you can substitute any vegetable or herbs of choice instead of the ones that I have listed like bell peppers, onion, parsley, chives etc.
