1. 1Pour 3/4 cup warm milk into a mixing bowl, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar, stir, and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes to create a buttermilk-like consistency.

3. 3Add 1/2 cup finely ground suji (semolina) to the wet mixture, mix well, cover, and let the batter rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. 4After resting, briefly whisk the mixture again and stir in 1/2 cup (30g) desiccated coconut powder.
5. 5Sift 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder into the mixture, then mix gently.
6. 6Gradually add 1/4 cup (60ml) additional milk while continuously whisking until a smooth, lump-free batter is formed.
7. 7Prepare a 10x5 inch cake tin by lightly greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
8. 8Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin, smooth the top with a spatula, gently tap a few times, and generously garnish with almond flakes.
