A Gujarati Dish - can be served for Breakfast too, we enjoyed it as a snack with Green Chutney , a healthy snack as its a steamed dish almost like the Rava Idli.

Suji / Semolina - 1 cup
Curd (Sour) - 1 and 1/4 cup
Green chili's - 2 to 4 no's (adjust as per your preference)

Or else Stir and combine all ingredients using a spoon.

Need to serve'em hot
Notes :
: May Sprinkle some Chili Powder on top while pouring the seasoning , to make it little spicy.
: A pressure cooker can be used to steam this too , do not put the pressure on it , pour little water and a base plate , place the plate with the mixture to be steamed over the base plate (Water should be just half way through the base plate and shouldn't touch the plate with the mixture to be steamed )
: Cooking time may vary hence check if done using a fork.
