1  cup(s) semolina (or quick cream of wheat)
1  teaspoon(s) each of mustard and cumin seeds
1  sprig(s) curry leaves
1  teaspoon(s) ginger chopped

  1. Heat half of the ghee (clarified butter) in a pan. Fry semolina, stirring continuously, to a golden color on medium / low level for about 2  minute(s). Keep aside.
  2. Heat the remaining ghee (clarified butter) in a pan. Toss in the mustard seeds followed by the cumin seeds and fry till the seeds splutter fully. Add the curry leaves, ginger, green chillies and onions. Stir fry on medium level for about 3  minutes or till the onions are transparent and soft.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and fry on medium level for about 3  minutes or till they are soft and cooked. Add half of the coriander leaves (reserving the rest for garnishing) and fry briefly till they wilt.
  4. Mix in the semolina and salt. Add the hot water to this and mix well. Add more hot water if the mixture is dry. Cover and cook on low heat for about 3  minutes or till the mixture is almost dry.
    Garnish with fried cashewnuts, grated coconut and finely chopped coriander leaves

TIPS:

  • Ghee is very important to impart flavor to this dish. A combination of oil and ghee/butter can also be used.
  • Green chillies can be increased if desired.
  • It is better to heat more water than specified above in case it is required.

Serve hot with: Coconut Chutney (Nariyal Chutney)
