Ingredients:

  • Sooji (Cream of wheat), lightly roasted   -   2 cups
  • Curds/buttermilk   -   2 cups
  • Ginger paste   -   1 tsp.

  • Water   -   3/4 cup
  • Fruit salt   -   2 tsp.

Method:

Heat pressure cooker with enough water in it. Mix sooji, curds, ginger, chilli paste, salt and water to make a thick batter. Mix in fruit salt and spread batter in a wet thali. Sprinkle chilli powder over it. Steam for about 10 to 12 minutes without weight*. Let cool. Cut into pieces and serve with green coriander chutney or tomato sauce. *Take care to place the thali over a vessel to prevent water in the pressure cooker from getting into the mixture.
