This is soft in center and hard and chewy crust at the top….The caramelised flavor is which enhances the tastes of this cake…. This is specially made in tanjavore district in tamil nadu..a traditiondl home based sweet among tanjore muslims…I have come across this sweet from my husband who has tasted it long before when he was dere …when he said about these cake I had no odea how it taste and to make…I searched in Google but I dint get any recipe for it .Then MIL gave this recipe she got it from her friend who is staying there I would say A traditional recipe…I gave a try to it and finally got the perfect texture..
This cake when out of oven will be very soft and have a feeling that its not baked well as they tend come out…but believe me It become perfect on cooling…You should never slice while hot allow it to cool that it tends to become hard and crisp…
