1 cup semolina

1 cup boiling water

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 fresh green chili, seeded and chopped finely

1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated finely

Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying

Method :

Fill a bowl with the boiling water and add the semolina. Stir with a wooden spatula. Mix in all the other seasonings. The dough should not be dry but stiff. Take a tablespoon of the dough, roll into a ball and flatten to make a circle about 3 inches across. Make a hole in the center of the dough like a doughnuts.

Heat up a wok with the oil. Fry the holed and flattened dough until golden. Turn to fry on the other side. Best to serve warm.
