Add half of the coriander leaves and fry for some time. Mix in the semolina and salt. Add the hot water to this and mix well. Add more hot water if the mixture is dry. Cover and cook on low heat for about 3 minutes or till the mixture is almost dry.

Green chillies can be increased if desired. It is better to heat more water than specified above in case it is required. Serve hot with Coconut Chutney |
