Semolina Fruit Cake Recipe
Semolina is quite a versatile food grain that can be used in a number of dishes from pancakes to cakes and is also frequently used in pastas and porridges. It has a number of health benefits as well.
It is made from rough, coarsely ground whole wheat, and hence, is healthier than our refine wheat preparations. Dishes made from suji are delicious too, as the grain gives the dishes a lovely and unique texture. It's light on the stomach, as it is easily digestible.
