Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.

  2. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistency.

  3. If you prefer a sweeter teacake, increase the jaggery powder slightly.

  4. Let the teacake cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.

  5. For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top before baking.

FAQS

  1. Can I substitute jaggery powder with sugar?

    Yes, you can use an equal amount of sugar as a substitute for jaggery powder.

  2. Is the melted chocolate necessary?

    No, the melted chocolate is optional and adds a touch of indulgence. You can skip it if desired.

  3. Can I use regular flour instead of ragi flour?
