Tried it, they were the most delicious, thank you. It is not only gluten free but also casein free (milk and milk products), an excellent recipe.

Hi Tarunpreet!!Thank you for the feedback…did you cook the 'Ragi-Cocoa' mixture until it turns really thick and glossy?… using too much flour can make the cake dry..so when measuring the flour,spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level off with a spatula…do let me know the next time you try it out….and please do send me the pics @ kurryleaves[at]gmail.com
Regards
Vidya

Lovely cake came out well…v rich n moist. Used olive oil…chocolate chips mask the jaggery flavor. Didn't rise as much as I would have liked… A bit dense.
