Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Melt butter for topping in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add jaggery and bring to a simmer, stirring every so often until jaggery is dissolved. Once it starts to bubble, turn off heat and immediately pour the mixture into a 9-inch round cake pan. Arrange pineapple slices on top of the caramel mixture. Set aside while you prepare the cake.
  3. 3 Combine almond flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Grind star anise pod with a mortar and pestle and add to the flour mixture.
  4. 4 Beat butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and beat until creamed together. Beat in eggs on high speed until combined. Mix in vanilla and lemon zest. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until combined and no lumps remain; do not overmix. Pour batter over the pineapple topping in the pan and spread evenly.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes; do not overbake.
  6. 6 Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack; let cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Invert cake onto a cake stand or serving plate.

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, stir together the milk powder, flour, baking powder, and cardamom. Stir in the almonds, pistachios and golden raisins. Mix in the melted ghee, then pour in the milk, and continue to mix until well blended. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
  2. 2 In a large skillet, stir together the sugar, water, rose water and a pinch of cardamom. Bring to a boil, and simmer for just a minute. Set aside.
  3. 3 Fill a large heavy skillet halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat for at least 5 minutes. Knead the dough, and form into about 20 small balls. Reduce the heat of the oil to low, and fry the balls in one or two batches. After about 5 minutes, they will start to float, and expand to twice their original size, but the color will not change much. After the jamun float, increase the heat to medium, and turn them frequently until light golden. Remove from the oil to paper towels using a slotted spoon, and allow to cool. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool slightly.
  4. 4 Place the balls into the skillet with the syrup. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, squeezing them gently to soak up the syrup. Serve immediately, or chill.
