For the cake:
whole wheat flour 1/2 cup
Refined flour 3/4 cup
Baking powder 1/2 tsp
Baking soda 1/2 tsp
Fresh curd 3/4 cup
Milk powder 1 cup
Caster sugar 1/4 cup
Oil 1/4 cup

Instructions

Sieve both the flours together and baking powder as well.
Whisk the curd and mix in the baking soda. Let this rest for 5 minutes.
In the curd mix in the milk powder, vanilla essence and caster sugar. Add in the oil and mix it properly.
Add in the sieved flour and mix it gradually. (It should have a thick pouring consistency (like idli or dhokla batter). If needed add a tbsp of milk.)
Meanwhile heat your pressure cooker.
Take a greased mould, then pour the batter mixture into the mould. Next, gently tap the mould to let any air escape.
Put a kitchen stand or broad mouth bowl in the centre of the cooker. Put your cake mould on top of this stand.
Remove the whistle from the cooker lid. Then cover the pressure cooker with it's lid. Set the flame on medium.
Let the cake cook for 30 minutes. (Take a toothpick test. If needed let the cake for few more minutes.)
Once cooked, let the cake cool down and demould it.
To prepare the caramel sauce, heat a pan and add the granulated sugar and water. Let it cook without disturbing it, till the sugar starts to caramelize on the sides.
As the whole sugar melts add in the fresh cream and mix it well. (You need to be very quick while mixing it.) Then turn off the flame. Your sauce is ready!
Pour this caramel sauce over the cake. Sprinkle the chopped and roasted nuts over it.
