Coconut suji cake is a very healthy and easy to make. This is an absolute treat for coconut lovers. I like to pack this in kids school lunch box, you can serve with hot glass of milk.
I recommend to use oil than butter as it will keep the cake moist and soft.
Make sure to set the batter aside for minimum 20 minutes so that suji can swell.
Frosting is optional I did it on kids demand and garnished with pistachios and coconut powder.
