Here’s a simple, healthy, and eggless ragi (finger millet) cake recipe you can make without an oven in just 45 minutes at home — using a stovetop or pressure cooker method!
🧁 Eggless Ragi Cake Without Oven – 45-Minute Recipe
🔸 Ingredients (1 small 6-inch cake):
-
1 cup ragi flour (finger millet flour)
-
½ cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
-
¾ cup jaggery powder (or brown sugar)
-
½ cup curd (yogurt)
-
¼ cup oil (sunflower or coconut)
-
½ cup milk (adjust for consistency)
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
1 tsp vanilla essence
-
Pinch of salt
-
Optional: 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder or chopped nuts/dry fruits
🔸 Method (Stovetop or Cooker):
1. Prep the Cooker or Kadai:
-
Preheat a thick-bottomed kadai or pressure cooker on medium heat.
-
Place a stand or ring at the bottom. No water.
-
Remove the whistle and gasket if using a cooker.
-
Cover and preheat for 10 mins.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
-
In a mixing bowl, add ragi flour, wheat flour, jaggery, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk curd + milk + oil + vanilla essence.
-
Slowly mix the wet and dry ingredients. Add more milk if too thick. The batter should be of pouring consistency.
-
Fold in nuts, raisins, or cocoa powder if using.
3. Pour and Tap:
-
Grease a small cake tin or any deep steel container with oil.
-
Line with parchment or dust with flour.
-
Pour in the batter, tap to release air bubbles.
4. Cook on Stove:
-
Place the tin inside the preheated cooker/kadai.
-
Cover tightly and bake for 30–35 minutes on low to medium flame.
-
Check with a toothpick — it should come out clean.
5. Cool & Serve:
-
Let it cool completely before slicing.
-
Optional: dust with cocoa, powdered sugar, or drizzle melted chocolate.
💡Pro Tips:
-
You can substitute curd with mashed bananas or applesauce.
-
For a vegan version: use plant-based milk and skip curd.
-
Always keep flame low to avoid burning the bottom.
