After adding water, sooji/ rava will absorb the water immediately. Check the salt. If it requires add it.
Put the lid on for 1 -2 minutes and allow it to absorb the moisture.
Finally add coriander leaves, mix and it's done.
Serve along with bhujia on the top and enjoy the morning with a cup of tea.
