Upma not only tastes awesome but is also a healthy breakfast. Upma is a tamil name. Uppu means “salt” muva means “flour”. Using semolina and variety of ingredients with salt we can make various kinds of upma like vegetable upma, Semiya(Vermicelli) upma,Oats upma,Bread Upma and few more. Being a northern Indian I never got the opportunity to eat this dish during school days but when I was in college there was never a day when I didn’t eat Upma. First time I had upma at a Road side stall I ate almost 3-4 plates . After that morning upma visit was a daily routine. I relished every bit of it, sometimes with coconut chutney and sometimes with tea.
Directions For uPMA 1. Dry roast semolina in a pan. Stir it while roasting. After the color turns light brown switch off the flame and keep it aside. 2. Make a fine paste of ginger and green chilli.Mix them together. 3. Take a skillet, heat oil or ghee in it at low flame. 4. Add mustard seeds(Black and large ones).When the seeds splutter add ½ tsp cumin seeds and urad dal. 5. After that add cashewnuts. Fry them till they turn brown (cashewnuts) and then add ginger and green chilli paste plus finely chopped onions .
5. Saute them till onions turn transparent and add 7-8 curry leaves for flavoring. 6. Now pour three cups of water and salt( as per taste)and allow the water to boil. 7. Take a cup of semolina( size of cup for semolina = size of cup for adding water),add 2 tsp of ghee and lower the flame. 8. Gradually add semolina and keep stirring. It’s very important to stir it continuously to avoid lumps. Use all your muscle power.
9. The upma will eat away all the water. If you feel that mixture is dry and needs water, add it. Visit : http://www.easytocookfoodrecipes.info/upma-healthy-indian-breakfast-recipe/
