Take a large bowl, add semolina and add all the above ingredients which comes under 'for the base' except Eno. Mix well until you get a smooth paste. Keep aside this mixture for 20 minutes. Now grease a microwave safe bowl and pour eno over the rested batter. Mix well and immediately transfer it to the greased bowl. Microwave on high for 6 minutes (by this time you will see the top surface is set nicely and it will leave the sides of the bowl). 

                                                        
Let it cool down completely and then cut into wedges.
