Ingredients
Method
- In a pan, dry roast the semolina until it is little brown (Taking care it is not burnt). Keep it aside.
- In a pan, heat the clarified butter and add the mustard seeds, chana dal, ginger and the curry leaves. Let them splutter.
- Add the onion and green chilli and fry it for a few seconds.
- Add the water to it. Let the water come to a boil and simmer the flame.
- Slowly add the roasted semolina little by little to the boiling water and keep stirring so as not to form lumps.
- Make sure that the semolina is thoroughly mixed. It gets thicker very fast, so keep stirring.
- Serve hot with chutney.
