Prasadacha Shira

This is the shira that is prepared for Satyanarayan Prasad. But it always confuses me that all the ingredients are required in 1 1/4 measurement. Now in order for semolina to cook, it needs double amount of liquid. So how would same amount of liquid be sufficient? So I use 1 1/4 measure water and 1 1/4 measure milk.

Clarification : A reader - Archana clarified that for Prasadacha shira, you always add double measure of liquid. So use double the amount of milk or milk+water mixture compared to the rawa/semolina.
