"NEHA GHERA: Hi, this is Neha on behalf of Expert Village. Let this oil get heated first. It will actually convert or melt into like, say, in a water form. It's actually, I would say, in a liquid form. Not exactly in a liquid; it's like a liquid-solid form. And it'll actually melt and get into a liquid form. So I'll wait till like, say, two minutes till the oil gets hot and then we'll be putting the Indian semolina into it. Let the oil get heated. Take some time, make the oil heated, say for, like, two minutes for this particular pudding. And the oil should be that much, so that all the ingredients, which are here, can be put inside. Now what I need to do is I have to heat the oil, say, for like one minute, as I've told you, plus the oil needs to be properly melted like this. And then, you get all this, put the ingredients into it. See? Now, you can see that the oil is almost melted and now you can actually put the ingredients into it. Now, what you need to do, you need to take a spoon plus the Indian semolina, and now you put it, like, into this. Use a utensil and mix it well with the oil. It will actually come into some, I would say, a solid phase. Keep the flame at the low part and heat it for like, say, five minutes. Make sure that the flame which you're using is at low because if you're going to use the tall flame, the things would not work. It'll actually form into, you know, a bit brown, which is not a good color. You have to make it in a not very light brown; you don't have to make it in a very dark brown. So you have to take care of the color because the color shows you that the--how the dish is going to be look like. So mix it, give it different movements, and kind of add it. In the meanwhile, I have some cardamom seeds which I'll be adding into the recipe, say, like, here."
