This recipe is prepared from fine sooji also known as Rava or semolina.

Notes
- Sooji usually takes 20 mins to soak the moisture of the curd. allow it to soak it properly otherwise you will not get a proper result.
- If you don’t have eno fruit salt available then use ¼ teaspoon baking soda. It will give the same result.
