Streusel Cake had always been on the do list, I love the crunchy and crumbly topping on the cake, we can have any type of cake for the base, since I had bananas lying around, I decided to do a Banana Streusel Cake..

We can serve this kuzhambu with rice, idlis and dosas, it's spicy tangy and very flavorful..

When we use fermented batter to make the dosas, it's much easier, just pour and spread like regular dosas. The dosas come out very crispy and tastes very good with coconut chutney and sambar..
