4. When the Semolina (suji) is properly roasted,slowly add the boiled milk & water syrup. Keep stirring persistently even when you are adding boiled milk & water syrup to avoid any lumps.

5. If any lumps are formed, make sure to break them with the back of the stirring spoon so you get a smooth paste-like consistency. As much as possible one should try to ensure no lumps are formed.

6. Add cashews and raisins to the Sooji / Semolina  and mix well.

7. Cook on low flame till the mixture leave the sides of the pan.

8. Lets do the plating & serve with love.
