But it is so delicious that it is still made in Goan homes.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, this cake is made out of large-size, yellow skinned cucumbers that are available mostly during the monsoons. But it can also be made with regular cucumbers.

Deseed and grate the cucumber.<br \/>\n2. Lightly roast the rava in the ghee for 4-5 minutes.<br \/>\n3. Mix all the ingredients, including the water released by the cucumber, in a large bowl. Cover and set the mixture aside for 1 hour to give the jaggery time to dissolve and the rava time to absorb a lot of the liquid.<br \/>\n4. Give the mixture a stir and transfer it to a greased baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Tap the pan on the work surface and level the top surface. Sprinkle some chopped cashew nuts on top.<br \/>\n5. Place the baking pan on a trivet placed inside a pre-heated kadai. Cover the kadai and bake the cake on the stove top on low heat for around 45 minutes.<br \/>\n6. Let the cucumber cake cool completely and then unmould it. In the old days, Goan housewives would bake this cake in the night on a wood fire and then serve it for breakfast the next morning.<br \/>\n7. Make thick slices and serve the cucumber cake.<br \/>\nEnjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goan Cucumber Cake Without an Oven The Goan cucumber cake I&#8217;m presenting to you today is an old and traditional one and also a different kind of cake.
