Upma is a traditional breakfast menu in India.
Its broken semolina, something close to couscous, but a bit more..."mushier"
The first time I tried it, to be honest, I didn't like it at all. Compared to all the delicious dishes, I thought, why Upma?
But funny how you acquire tastes. The more I ate it, the more I liked it, and you just can't stop!
I prefer a bit drier so I used less water for this one:
Recipe for Upma
1. Put 1 cup Sooji powder on heat for about 7 minutes until they are golden brown. Put aside to cool.
2. In the same pan, heat 2 tsp ghee, and add cumin, mustard seeds, teaspoon of mixed dahl and 8 curry leaves.
3. Add grated ginger, minced onion and carrots.
4. Pour in 3 cups of water and cook till veggies are soft.
5. Add a pinch of salt for taste, and slowly pour in the Sooji (trying not to make lumps), churn until you get the texture of your preference!
