Roast the semolina in a dry pan over low heat until it turns light golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them pop.
Add urad dal and chana dal, and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the chopped green chilies and ginger, and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, green beans, and peas. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Pour in the water and add salt to taste. Bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, gradually add the roasted semolina, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes until the semolina absorbs the water and is cooked through.
Remove from heat, fluff it with a fork, and mix in fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice if desired.
