Instructions

Dry roast the semolina (rava/suji) without oil for about 8-10 mins

When the mustard seeds pop, add the Black gram and the Bengal gram and saute till golden in colour.
Add all the cut and grated vegetables, curry leaves and shelled peas and saute over a low flame.
Once the vegetables soften add the roasted semolina and saute for a couple of more minutes.
Add 2 cups of water and salt and quickly mix so that no lumps are formed.
