Ingredients:

·       Rava (Suji) – 1 cup

·       Sugar – ¾ cup

·       All-purpose flour (Maida) – 1 cup

·       Baking powder – ½ tsp

·       Baking soda – ½ tsp

·       Cardamom powder – 1 tsp

·       Milk – 1½ cups

·       Rose water – 1 tbsp

Method:

·       Preheat the oven to 180°C and lightly grease or line a loaf tin with baking paper.
