I am super excited to share today's recipe and I have many memories around this fried cake. In Tirunelveli district, the fried cake is made as a big round shaped ball with few cracks and people call it as Muttakos (cabbage) since the shape of this resembles the cabbage. The same cake is called as Vettu Cake in Kanyakumari District and Kerala. They make it a bit small and have a cross in the centre. Most of the roadside tea shop will sell this along with Medhu Vada, Parippu Vada, Samosa and Pazham Pori.
My mum was working at a School in Tisayanvillai and I did my schooling there until grade 10. We had a neighbour who makes this Muttakos(Vettu Cake) and Mini Samosas. He supplies it to all the nearby tea shops and some days we buy it from him for our evening snacks. It tastes so yummy and at times mum will make it at home. The original recipe calls for maida and my mum makes it with wheat flour. Today I am sharing the original recipe with maida and you can always replace it with wheat flour for the healthier option. Let's see the preparation steps:
