4 cups water
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 cups semolina flour (pasta flour)* or farina (suji or sooji, such as Rani or Ajika brands; about 9 ounces)*
1/3 cup Clarified Butter
2 small garlic cloves, minced

I found this dish to be a bit too oily. Next time I make it, I will use less oil.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.
