No Oil, No Butter, Eggless Ragi Cake – The story of Richa Agarwal
A creative person who wants to bake healthy, eggless goodies and present them to her clients in a creative way, Richa Agarwal is a baker, entrepreneur and mother. Under her brand, ‘Arrange Party’, she attempts to make traditional sweets, regular bakes free of maida, refined sugar, with lesser oil, butter and unhealthy content in it. A believer in eating and living healthy, Richa runs her brand in Bangalore with this philosophy. She wishes to expand her horizon further in this area through practice and experiments, specially for giving her son the healthiest of products.
We received a warm welcome at Richa’s place during the video shoot and little did we know that she had prepared a 4 course lunch post the shoot! It was truly overwhelming and a delight to speak to her about baking, branding and how she has been in the business for a few years. Keeping this philosophy in mind, she baked a Oil Free, Butter Free Ragi Cake for the video shoot on our channel! It was hot from the oven, glazed with chocolate and super delicious to have! The best part? She packed the rest of the cake for us to take!
So, let us learn how to make this at home.
