Instructions
- 1
Dry Roast Semolina: Place a dry pan over medium heat. Add the semolina and roast continuously for 5-7 minutes until it becomes aromatic and turns a very pale golden color. Transfer to a plate.

Prepare Boiling Water: In a separate kettle or pot, bring 2.5 cups of water to a rolling boil. Keep it hot.

Temper the Spices: Heat 2 tbsp oil or ghee in the pan. Crackle the mustard seeds, then add the urad dal and fry until golden. Add grated ginger, 1 slit green chili, and curry leaves.

Cook Vegetables: Toss in the finely diced mixed vegetables and sauté for 2 minutes. Pour in the boiling water and add 1 tsp salt. Let the vegetables boil for 2-3 minutes until tender.

Incorporate Semolina: Lower the heat to a simmer. Pour the roasted semolina into the boiling water in a slow, steady stream with one hand, while whisking vigorously with the other to prevent lumps from forming.

Cover and Steam: The semolina will quickly absorb the water. Cover the pan with a lid and let it steam on the lowest heat for 3-5 minutes until it becomes fluffy. Fluff with a fork and serve hot.
