Ingredients
- Vegetable oil – 2 tbsps

- Salt to taste
- Hot water – 2 Cups
- Turmeric powder – a pinch
- Juice of ½ lime

Instructions
- Place a pan on a medium flame and roast the semolina lightly.
- Stirring should be vigorous and the semolina should not be allowed to turn brown. When done, keep on one side in a plate.
- Heat the oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, curry leaves and green chilies.
- When the spluttering comes to an end, grate and add ginger.
- Stir for one minute. Now add onions till they turn soft and translucent. Then add tomatoes, till they too turn soft.
- Add hot water, salt and turmeric and bring to a boil.
- Now add the roasted semolina slowly (bit by bit), stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
