Eggless Wheat Cake Rusk


eggless cake
Eggless whole wheat cakes are a favorite with everyone. I am no exception.

But cakes or any bakes aren't the healthiest food choices.

Nevertheless, it is always better to bake eggless atta cakes at home and that too using the healthiest of ingredients for guilt-free snacking.

This time I wanted to bake a wheat cake for a double delight, since I was craving for biscottis - the double baked beauties.

So I started with my baking experimentation, taking no recipe as my reference. Glad, I was able to do so successfully.

Here I come with an eggless atta cake and cake rusk no egg.

      I do not own an OTG so unsure about its settings. Ideally a microwave turns into an oven in convection mode.

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets.  How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
