Upma Recipe


Upma Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup semolina (sooji/rava)

  • 3 tablespoons ghee

  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

  • 10-12 curry leaves

  • 1/4 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped carrots

  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts

  • Salt to taste

  • 2 1/2 cups water

  • Juice of 1/2 lime

  • Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)


Instructions:

1. Preparation:

  • Roast the semolina in a pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon ghee until it turns light golden and aromatic. Keep stirring continuously to avoid burning. Once roasted, transfer it to a plate and set aside.

2. Cooking:

  • In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons ghee over medium heat.

  • Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.

  • Add curry leaves, and sauté for a minute.

  • Add the chopped carrots and green peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  • Add the roasted peanuts and sauté for another minute.

  • Add salt to taste. Mix well. Pour in the water and bring it to a boil.

  • Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the roasted semolina, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

  • Keep stirring until the semolina absorbs all the water and the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency. Cover the pan and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat.

3. Serving:

  • Once the upma is cooked, turn off the heat.

  • Squeeze the juice of ½ lime over the upma and mix gently.

  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot.


Enjoy your wholesome and comforting snack!
