To make it quicker; first place the water in a pot and allow it to boil. While the water is heating chop the onion and proceed to step 1 and 2. By the time the onions are pink the water is boiling already. Just add the boiling water and you are ready to add the sooji. This will save atleast 5 mins of your cooking time. Check it out.
