Kadalakka pola (Chana dal cake)

It is another malabar recipe same as semolina cake (thari pola).while preparing this I made slight changes from traditional way.  In traditional cooking you can't find out valina powder in kadalakka pola. And i seperated egg yolk and white, this is also optional you can beat egg without seperating it. But I think whipped egg white gives it very soft texture.
