If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
In Canada we call it Cream of Wheat. I would just follow the directions which, if I remember correctly, is to add a couple of Tablespoons per cup of liquid (milk, water, coconut milk or soy, etc.) Add your sesonings and bring to a simmer/boil until thickened.

Enjoy! that's good stuff!

I use Cream of Wheat frequently. It's actually a bit different than semolina. It's Farina. Farina is made from soft wheat, with the germ, and bran removed. It is used to make porridge, puddings, and cakes. It's often cooked in milk, with any number os sweeteners, maybe vanilla, and sometimes fruit, or jams.

My recipe for Cream of Wheat porridge is:
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cream
3 tbs. Farina
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbs. sweetener (I use brown sugar, honey, or Stevia extract, depending on my mood)

I have also made this by dicing an apple, and cooking the apple with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, the adding the milk, and cream. and finally the cream of Wheat. I have also made it with frozen strawberries, letting the thaw as the porridge cooks, then mashing the strawberries. The possibilities are endless.

To cook, Place liquid into a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the farina. Stir constantly to a simmer. Cook until the porridge has thickened (3 to 5 minutes). Stirring constantly insures a lump free porridge.

Semolina is made from hard Durham wheat, and contains more proteins than does farina. It's primary use is in breads, pasta, gnocchi, etc.

Both semolina, and farina can be used on pizza peels to prevent the pizza dough from sticking to the peel. I've also used farina, instead of corn meal, as a coating on fried fish, chicken, shrimp, etc. It provides a softer crunch, and doesn't absorb as much oil as breadcrumbs, or batter.

No, can't say I have. I'm not a great fan of Indian sweet dishes, even though I can cook up a storm with the savoury ones. I have used recipes by Tarla Dalal, however, and she's 100%reliable.
