Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Spread one pastry sheet and apply melted ghee evenly on it.
  • Carefully place the next sheet on top. Apply ghee.
  • Repeat it until all the pastry sheets are used up.
  • Cut the sheet into 12 equal portions. Three cuts lengthwise and two cuts width wise.
  • Take one part and press it into muffin tin’s cup. Repeat with the remaining portions.
  • Once you have pressed all the twelve moulds with pastry, it is time to make the batter.
  • In a bowl, combine semolina, flour, sugar, baking powder and cardamom powder and mix well.
  • Add ghee, milk, curd and rose essence and mix well to form thick batter.
  • Divide the batter between twelve phyllo pastry cups.
  • Add slivered almonds on top.
  • Bake it in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and golden.
  • By the time the cake is baking, mix together sugar, water and bring it to boil. Add rose essence and allow it to cool down.
  • Take the cake cups out of the oven.
  • Pour the cooled syrup on top of the cake evenly. The cake will absorb the syrup immediately.
  • Set it aside until the cake cups cools down completely.
  • Serve it immediately.

Notes

P.S: These cake cups need to be served on the day of making. The next day, the phyllo pastry will soften up.
