Mutta pola is a traditional cake in Malabar area. Even before baking get famous the people residing in Malabar area used to cook Mutta pola without using any oven. They cooked this in pot by keeping it on hot coal and some hot coals placed on closed lid. Like this way my grand mother used to cook and that's taste was wonderful. Now new generation is using pressure cooker instead of pot. Yes we don't have that much patience and don't have time too.So cooker is also a good option.
