TIPS:

• KEEP stirring!I cannot stress this enough.If you stop, it will all stick to the bottom and you will end up with quite a mess.

•  One way to tell that the dessert is done is that it will start to not stick to the walls of the pan anymore.

• Allow the semolina 3-4 min to cook in the beginning otherwise the end product wont taste right.
