Mutta marichathu/Kaya Pola (Egg & Plantain Cake)

























This one is a sweet dish, especially during the Ramadan season. It is very easy to cook and very nutritious. Its a good evening snack to give for kids.

Ingredients

1.Ripe Plantains - 2
2.Eggs - 4
3.Sugar - 8 tbsp
4.Crushed Cardomom - 5-6 nos
5.Ghee - 1-2 tbsp
6.Cashew Nuts - 9 (broken)
7.Raisins - 1 tbsp or more

Preparation

1.Cut the plantains lengthwise and cut them into small cubes.
2.Fry them in ghee in a medium sized sauce pan, till golden brownish colour comes(here & there).
3.Fry cashew till brownish, after removing the plantains.
4.Fry raisins also till golden brown.
5.Beat the eggs well along with sugar and powdered  cardamom.
6.Transfer the plantains, cashews & raisins into the beaten egg and stir it until spreads evenly.
7.Now transfer the mixture into the same pan and cook in lowest flame.
8.Cover with a proper fitting lid.
9.Cook until the top part is set. It should take around 10-15 mins. You can see it first rises well and then sets back
10.Transfer this to another plate and serve hot or warm with tea.

Notes
Take care not to burn the lower part of cake , cook in low flame only. It is better to keep watching while it gets cooked.
