Bhaji (spinach) cake

Note: Methi is another word for fenugreek. You will get it at one of the Asian stores in Leith. It has small leaves on a stem but if you are not sure, the store owner will definitely know what it is. It has a slightly bitter taste but works well in this cake.


Liquidise the following ingredients:
2 bunches methi
1/2 cup sunflower or light olive oil
1 onion
1 1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons crushed green chillies
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Sift together:
1 cup semolina
1  cup gram flour
1  cup plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tin small sweet corn
To Serve, greek yoghurt

Method
1.    Pre heat oven at 180 degrees
2.    Add liquidised mixture to the above dry ingredients. Taste & add more salt if required
3.    Add drained corn and mix thoroughly. Pour into greased pan, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake at 180 degrees for 30min. Serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt
