Critical Success Points

  • Roasting semolina to a light golden color without burning.
  • Tempering cashews and chana dal until fragrant but not over‑cooked.
  • Maintaining the 3:1 water‑to‑semolina ratio for the right texture.
  • Covering the pan and allowing the dish to steam undisturbed for the final 3 minutes.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot ghee and oil can cause severe burns; handle with care.
  • Do not leave the pan unattended while roasting semolina; it can scorch quickly.
