    Eggless Coconut Basbousa

    I came across this recipe just a few weeks ago. I have seen this in cooking shows and in many other cooking blogs. Really wanted to try this recipe, but many of this recipe has eggs in it. Wanted to try it without eggs, so modified the recipe accordingly and tried it. It came out pretty good. The taste of this was more like a firmer version of a south Indian sweet called as kesari with some taste different.

    About Coconut Basbousa Recipe

    This recipe is originally from Egypt. You can add some almonds on top of the cake too. The cake has a lovely aroma of rosewater, saffron and cardamom. I tried it warm as well as cold, but i liked it more when it is warm. I added fresh coconut in this, but if you want to store this for some more days add desiccated coconut. If you add fresh ones it will get spoiled soon.

      Do mention the temperature for oven setting. I baked mine at 180 degrees centigrade and it turned fine.

      This will be just a suggestion for you... So many people have milk & gluten allergies, me being one of them. I also have type 2 diabetes. So, I will suggest a few items for you to try if you want to. Sugar and honey are a no-no for diabetics. There is a no glycemic sugar called Monk Sweetener. Perfect for diabetics.
      There are many milk substitutes. And finally, Bob's Red Mill has gluten-free flour as well as many other products.
      You have a very useful website and I'm sure many people use it. Best to you.
