• 1 tbsp. full of other dry fruits like chopped, dry apricots, dates, plums can also be added to the batter, in place of raisins.

• You can flavour it with vanilla essence/concentrate or other flavouring of choice.

• You can add broken up bits of a chocolate bar or different nuts of choice to the batter, before pouring it in the baking dish. You can ice it with a butter icing
