  1. Marinate chicken:

    Dry roast semolina in a pan on medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.

  3. Cook chicken:
    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add marinated chicken, and cook until done (5–7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

    In the same pan, add remaining oil/ghee. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and curry leaves. Once they splutter, add onions and green chilies. Sauté until onions turn golden.

  8. Add rava:
    Lower heat, slowly add roasted rava while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Mix well.

  9. Cook rava:
    Cover and cook on low heat for 3–4 minutes until rava absorbs water and is cooked. Add coriander leaves and fluff with a fork.

  10. Serve:
    Serve hot with lemon wedges and chutney or raita.
