A delicious semolina garnish is an original dish inspired by European culinary traditions but with unexpected Eastern notes. Semolina, a familiar ingredient in many breakfasts, transforms here into a savory side dish thanks to fragrant oil with garlic, ginger, and exotic curry leaves. Crunchy cashews and bright cherry tomatoes complement the dish, adding textural depth and pleasant acidity. This garnish pairs perfectly with meat and vegetable dishes and can also serve as a standalone warm salad. The aroma of spices makes it unforgettable, while the delicate consistency ensures a comfortable and rich enjoyment of food. A great choice for those wanting to try traditional ingredients in a new rendition!
