    • You can use any millet flour, dry roast the millet in a pan. Cool it completely. Powder it fine. Sieve it and use.
    • Make sure you whip the eggs really well with the sugar till stiff peaks are formed. This step makes the cake light and fluffy.
    • Adding vanilla is optional. You can use ground cardamom as well.
    • Instead of millet flour, you can use rice flour as well.
    • Every oven is different. So keep checking the cake.
    • If you use a bigger cake pan, the cake will cook even faster.

      Good one, but is it safe to keep a stainless steel container in an oven?

      Hi Aarthi, Thanks for this recipe. It came out excellent. I've also tried this cake with 80gms of condensed milk instead of sugar and milk and it worked!!!!
