Sugi/Sugee Cake

Sugi or sugee which is also known as semolina comes from wheat flour and is yellow in colour. The wheat grain is coarsely ground and and it is obtained by sieving out the finer flour. It can be used as dessert, porridge, bread, pasta  pudding and cakes. A lot of people love sugi cake for its richness and buttery aroma even though it has a grainy texture which gives one a delightful taste.
