(Soji is name of the recipe (like idli,dosa, etc) not an ingredient) Rice along with mung dhal & vegetable - preparation time 30 min
I didn't had this tiffen before marriage. I tasted this recipe after marriage.Actually in my in-laws house they won't pressure cook sooji they will keep adding boil water as and when required i altered to below method. It might slightly resemble pongal and upma. If you don't add correct proportion of water you will end up in vegetable pongal :-). Try it out it will be healthy and tasty tiffen. No need of side dish.
