  • Add water in the pot of rice cooker and switch on the cooker. We have to boil the water.

  • Add bananas after mashing them. Also add butter, oil & milk. Walnuts are to be added after tossing in a tsp of flour.
  • Mix everything well. If the dough is dry, add little more milk. Though we didn't need to add more than 1/4 cup. Remember, we have to make a dough which is gooey and sticky. Don't bring the mixture to the pouring consistency like batter.

Notes

  1. Before beginning the process, make sure the cake tin you are going to use gets fit properly in the steam rack.
  2. There's no strick quantity of water need to be added in pot. Water should be just enough to steam the bread/cake for 20 minutes.
  3. If the butter you are using is salted, then avoid adding extra salt as mentioned.
  4. The ideas behind tossing walnuts with flour is that the walnuts doesn't sit at the bottom of cake tin.
  5. The cake/bread will have a whitish colour and not that deep brown like we get in oven.
  6. You can make this cake in regular steamer also in which you make dhokla, idli or anything else.
