Savory Semolina Cake(Eggless)

Savory cakes,anyone?? This was the first time I tried a savory cake,just wished to cut down the sugar intake in our daily menu and was craving for some dhokla,and am happy that I ended making this one. This happened to be the best healthy cake.There is no fat,no sugar and it tastes similar to our Indian savory cake,'Dhokla' as it has the spice flavors similar in that.You can sneak in your veggies and the cake is soft and filling.Enjoy making this cake at home,perfect for diabetics too!!
