Water – Although I’ve added 2 cups, you may as well add much less. 1 & ½ can also be sufficient which provides you barely chewier consequence when you like that.
A observe in technique – I’ve seen the general public boil sugar and water collectively. Then they add it to roasted sooji and prepare dinner collectively. I’m used to do semolina first softly after which including sugar. This provides softer outcomes and there shall be no chewy suji texture simply in case when you run into bother. That is foolproof technique for inexperienced persons as properly.
