Chef Tips
- Always dry roast the semolina and keep it in an air tight container, not only to save time but also to prevent worms.
- To save time you can separately boil green peas in 02 cups of water add salt to it, taste for proper salt add more if required and add this water + Green peas + Salt to the prepared sautéed semolina mixture
