Kicked off the day with upma. Simple, easy to cook and less time consuming. My hubby liked this upma. My baby also had a little. I am sure most of the people prepare upma/uppit in every house-hold. For those who doesn't know, they have reached the right place for the recipe.
I made this upma as simple as possible. One can add, chopped tomato and green peas. Since I wanted to be a bit fast, I preferred not to use these.
Ingredients:
1 cup rawa / semolina
2 1/2 cups water
1 green chilli
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp mustard seeds
10 curry leaves
1 chopped onion
2 tablespoon grated coconut
1/2 tsp asafoetida
2 tablespoon Desi ghee
1 tsp urad dal / black gram dal
Pinch of sugar
Salt to taste
Procedure:
Fry the rawa in 1 tsp ghee til it turns brown and keep aside.
In a kadai, put oil. When it heats, add mustard seeds. When they flutter, add urad dal, asafoetida and curry leaves and fry for sometime.
Now add chopped onion and fry till it turns pinkish.
To this add the finely chopped green chilly and stir. Add turmeric powder and mix properly.
Now add the rawa and mix well.
To this add water and let it get boiled. Cook till all water gets absorbed.
