Thinking of making something easy that can impress family and friends? How about a vegetable cake using rice and gram flour? An easy victory even for a novice baker. All you have to do is follow the process of mixing with just a little bit of carrots, zucchini, and broccoli. Then, it can be served in slices as the main dish–with all the energy and nutrients packed in one portion. It is simply delicious, and slightly moist, with a nutty flavor from the peanut. You can even use pecans or walnuts if preferred for a bit of crunch.
