- 6.While there is still some water in the pan, Add in your veggies (we add veggies last, to have the tender and fresh taste) You can add in your choice of nuts (peanuts, or raisins) to enhance this dish. Cook until all the water is evaporated and Semolina has started to stick together. Pour it out in a bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro and mint.
