 Its very simple to make .
Semolina , coconut and yogurt (Curd) are important ingredients to make this cake.
No  Egg, No flour and no condensed milk.
You can add mango, chocolate for more  flavors.
You can add almond, pistachios or cashews according to your choice.
YOu can add color also like yellow or saffron.

Its very yummy in taste and healthy too .
You can make this sweet on any festive as well, since its eggless and very easy to make.
