1. In a medium bowl, mix together the semolina, 100g sugar, curd, oil, coconut and baking powder. Set aside for 30 minutes. 2. In a small pan over medium-high heat, stir together the water, 350g sugar and rosewater. Bring to the boil, and boil for 3 or 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool to room temperature. 3. Preheat the oven to 180 C. Spread the semolina batter into the bottom of a greased 23x33cm (9x13 in) baking dish.

Switch the oven setting to grill/broil, and broil until the top is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven, and pour the cooled syrup over the hot squares. Serve warm.
