Notes:

• Don't use whisk or beater for mixing flour and jaggery mix else it will become dense.
• You can use any dry fruits.
• Even you can add any dry fruits before transferring the batter to cake pan and mix well.
• Strain the Jaggery water if you didn't use organic jaggery.
• Sieving flour is optional. I didn't sieve it because I used homemade wheat flour which is already sieved.
