Dear Niruji,

the whole wheat atta cake can it be made without eggs? What can we substitute instead of the eggs or would there be a totally different recipe?

Hope to hear from you soon,

Best regards,
Reena

Just substitute 1/4 cup dahi for each egg.

Hi Niru,
Being a defence officer's wife we have been recently posted to Dhaka for ten months. I am allergic to maida and thus would like to know how could I bake an atta cake. The trouble is that here we r not provided with an oven.Our's is left back at home in Mumbai. I have learnt that one can bake cakes in a pressure cooker. Pls do let me know how. I have a 6 yr old daughter eagerly waiting for me to bake her a cake.

I am extremely sorry to dissappoint you.

The first item I do not have in my collection--the cone.

I have recipes for brownie and muffins but in a convection oven.
