Vettucake

Vettucake, a nostalgic tea-time treat, is a cherished part of Malabar's culinary heritage, straight from my grandmother's recipe book. These rustic, diamond-shaped cakes are made from a simple yet delightful batter of maida, sugar, eggs, and a hint of cardamom. Deep-fried to a perfect golden brown, they boast a slightly crisp exterior that gives way to a wonderfully soft and airy interior. Vettucake is a testament to the simple joys of traditional Kerala snacks, perfect with a cup of evening chai.
