My father is not keen on having cakes made out of maida/ plain flour, so this Father’s Day I baked a cake with rustic touch. I used Ragi Flour/ Madua Aata which is a popular food grain of the tribal population in Jharkhand used to make chapatti/ roti. I used Ragi Flour because it is my father’s favorite breakfast option. My mothers makes Madua Roti for him everyday as Ragi/ Madua has various health benefits, hence I made Cake for him using Madua/ Ragi Millet.
