It is a common meal that the Indians have for breakfast, lunch or dinner, one cooked with semolina, a mix of spices and vegetables. As semolina is made of wheat, it cooks and fluffs up in volume once cooked in water, just like rice does, which makes it a complete substitute for rice in the Indian regions.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The original recipes would call for spices such as mustard and cumin seeds. I removed some of these ingredients from my dish so that it can still remain palatable for a young kid, especially one who is rather picky with food. I must say, it does take a bit of getting used to the new texture and taste, having never eaten semolina in this manner. But I can see why it can be a popular staple among the Indian community, given how flexible it is to vary the ingredients to suit one&#8217;s preferences and tastebuds.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oil: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Ginger: 1\/2&#8243;, grated<\/li>\n<li>Onion: 1, diced<\/li>\n<li>Tomato: 1, diced<\/li>\n<li>Carrot: 1\/2, diced<\/li>\n<li>Water: 2 cups<\/li>\n<li>Semolina: 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Salt: to taste<\/li>\n<li>Sugar: to taste<\/li>\n<li>Coriander: 1 stalk, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Heat oil in wok.
