Hey Lykkers! Are you ready to try something so comforting and delicious today? Because I’ve got a treat for you! Let me introduce you to the ultimate cozy dessert: Fenugreek Tray (Fenugreek Cake).
Trust me, once you make this, you’ll wonder why you haven’t tried it sooner. It’s warm, flavorful, and seriously easy to whip up! Think of it like a hug in dessert form. Let’s dive in!
What You Need?:
This dessert is pretty straightforward—just a few simple ingredients that come together for something magical. Here’s the list:
2 tbsp fenugreek seeds – The star of the show! These little seeds bring so much flavor and are packed with history.
1 cup all-purpose flour – The foundation for the dessert; nothing fancy, just the basics.
1/4 cup sugar – Adjust this based on how sweet you like things; I’m more of a “sweet but not too sweet” kind of person.
1/4 cup ghee or melted butter – I can’t stress enough how good ghee is here. It makes everything so rich and buttery.
1/2 tsp baking powder – A little lift for your dessert so it doesn’t feel too heavy.
1/2 tsp vanilla extract – Adds that dreamy, warm aroma we all love.
1 cup milk – This is the secret to getting the perfect smooth, creamy texture.
A pinch of cinnamon – Totally optional, but cinnamon just makes everything better, don’t you think?
Crushed nuts (almonds or pistachios) – For that extra crunch and a nice pop of color (this is where you can get a little fancy!).
How to Make This Warm Delight?:
1. Soak the fenugreek seeds: Grab your fenugreek seeds and soak them in water overnight. I know, I know, it’s a bit of a wait, but trust me—this step softens the seeds and makes them totally ready to shine in the recipe. Don’t skip this part! It’s all about getting the right texture.
2. Mix up your dry ingredients: While you’re waiting for those seeds, mix together your flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. If you’re feeling extra, throw in a little cinnamon—seriously, it adds that cozy vibe that makes this dessert irresistible.
3. Add the magic ingredients: Once your seeds are soaked and drained, toss them into the dry ingredients. Now, for the good stuff—add in your ghee (or melted butter, your choice!), vanilla extract, and milk. Stir it all together until it’s smooth and creamy. It’ll look so good already, you won’t even be able to wait to bake it.
4. Bake it: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your baking tray, pour in the batter, and spread it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown, and you can poke a toothpick in and it comes out clean. The smell while it’s baking? Divine.
5. Garnish and serve: Now, here’s where you can get creative. Once it’s out of the oven and cooled a bit (or not, if you just can’t wait!), sprinkle some crushed almonds or pistachios on top. It’ll give it that crunchy, nutty finish that really takes it to the next level.
Why You’ll Love It?:
I promise, this Fenugreek Tray is so much more than just a dessert. It’s a warm, cozy feeling that you can taste. The fenugreek brings a unique flavor that you won’t find in typical desserts, and the ghee makes it so rich and comforting. Plus, the recipe is super simple—just mix, bake, and enjoy! It's the perfect dessert for when you want something sweet but not overwhelming, and it’s a great treat to share with family or friends.
