  1. 1.Start with chopping 1 Onion and your choice of vegetables (green peas, broccoli, carrots, peppers goes well in this recipe ) 2.In a Pan roast Cumin seeds, Cilantro Seeds, Mustard Seeds in 1-2 Tablespoon of oil (Coconut oil is great or you can go with anything that you prefer) 3.Add in chopped onions to the Pan. Stir for a minute 4.Now add in 1 cup of raw Semolina to the above. Semolina roasts very fast, so keep stirring the mixture to ensure it doesn't burn or gets too brown too quickly. 5.Once Semolina has turned slightly brown in color, turn heat to slow and Add 3 cups of water. cook for a couple of minutes until most of the water have evaporated and Semolina has started to stick together. Pour it out in a bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro and mint. 6.While there is still some water in the pan, Add in your veggies (we add veggies last, to have the tender and fresh taste) You can add in your choice of nuts (peanuts, or raisins) to enhance this dish. Cook until all the water is evaporated and Semolina has started to stick together. Pour it out in a bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro and mint.
