Sanja is a Maharashtrian dish made with sooji...It is delicious!!
It is mostly like the South Indian sooji upma but the taste differs due to the difference in tempering and also due to the buttermilk used in it.
So let's check out, how I make SANJA (sooji upma with buttermilk)

As buttermilk comes to boil little bit, add salt to taste. As the buttermilk comes to a nice boil, put the roasted semolina (sooji).

It's done... switch the flame off.
