Notes :-
----------
# Ensure that semiya is cooked completely, before adding the sugar. If not it will become rubbery.  
# Water quantity depends on the semiya variety, so adjust accordingly. But be careful don't add more water and make it mushy.
# Ready-made roasted semiya is available in the market, you can also use those. 
# Use milk instead of water for a different taste.
