Sooji French Fries

Ingredients

• 1 cup semolina
• Salt to taste
• Dried red chilli flakes for sprinkling
• Dried oregano for sprinkling
• Oil for drizzling + deep frying

Method

1. Heat 1½ cups water in a non-stick pan; let it come to a boil. Add semolina, salt and mix well. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Sauté again and cook till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and thickens slightly. Take it off the heat, set aside in a bowl and allow to cool.
3. Mix the cooled semolina mixture well and shape it into a ball. Place the prepared semolina mix on a sheet of plastic, drizzle a little oil and place another layer of plastic sheet on top and flatten.
4. Roll the prepared mixture into thick sheet, drizzle a little oil on the knife and grease it. Cut the edges of the semolina sheet and discard them, cut the remaining into fingers. Set them aside.
5. Heat sufficient oil in a non-stick pan, deep fry the prepared fingers till golden brown and crispy. Drain on an absorbent paper.
6. Transfer into a bowl, sprinkle dried red chilli flakes, dried oregano and a pinch of salt and toss well. Serve hot.
