Eggless Ricotta cheese and Semolina Cake (No oil used) !!!!!

It's a weekend, needless to say  it's time to spend quality time with family. There are times during weekend I like to do some elaborate cooking while sometimes rest is good hence I like to do quick recipes to save time and at the same time enjoy with my family and friends. Today i am presenting to you a very simple, quick , easily liked by everybody a cake which is egg-less and oil-less.  This cake does not rise like other cakes yet it's spongy, soft and perfectly baked.
People from the state Odisha located in the eastern part of India will call this dish as "Chenna Poda" however I say that it is very close to the taste of "Chenna Poda" but slightly different because of the method of cooking involved (It is primarily made from fresh Chenna or Paneer and Suji.......hopefully will come up with that recipe soon). Enjoy baking this simple dish :-)



Ingredients Required:

Ingredients
Quantity
Ricotta Cheese
15 oz or 425 grams
Semolina/ Rava/Suji 
(Coarse Variety)
1/4th Cup
Sugar
½ cup
Powdered green Cardamom
1 tsp
Broken cashews
1 tbsp
Raisins
1 tbsp

Method of Preparation:
  • Preheat oven at 350 degree F
  • Mix all the above ingredients in a bowl and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes
  • Spread the batter evenly on a greased baking tray
  • Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degree F and then let it rest inside the oven with the oven at switched off mode for another 10 minutes 
  • The edges should be brown by now
  • Remove it from the oven and let it slightly cool down for 15 minutes
  • Flip it out, cut it into small pieces and serve warm
  • You can have this room temperature too. Store it in the refrigerator and warm it before you have or you may have it cold if you like since I like it either ways.
