Ingredients:

250g semolina (suji)
salt, to taste
1 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped tomato
1 finely chopped potato
2 chopped green chillies
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp amchur powder
1/2 tsp rye meal (fine mustard seeds)
1–2 tsp vegetable oil
chopped coriander leaves
1–2 tbsp lemon juice

Method:

Add the semolina to a heavy pan on medium heat and toast until a light brown in colour then transfer to a plate. Heat the oil in the pot, add the onion and mustard seeds. Fry until the onions become a golden brown in colour. Add the chopped potatoes, cover and cook on a low heat.

When the potatoes are completely cooked (about 20 minutes) add the chopped tomatoes, chillies, chilli powder and salt. Stir these in.

Now add the cooked semolina to a pan and add double the volume of water (about 600ml). Mix well, cover and cook on medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes then stir-in the contents of the frying pan. Cook for a further five minutes, stirring frequently to make certain everything's thoroughly mixed. Take off the heat, add the lemon juice, plate out and sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves.
