Masajis comment in the end 🥰🥰

As simple as it sounds, sometimes you need some tips and tricks to make it right and this is how my masiji taught me to make vegetable Upma. She was directing me while I was cooking and masaji was eagerly waiting to eat it. We loved how it turned out and also my mother in law always says upma is light on stomach on days when you are craving something simple and wholesome. 

Recipe is below so you can easily save and share.

Upma 
3/4 cup Semolina
1 and 1/2 cup water more if needed 
1/4 cup carrots 
1/4 cup tomatoes (optional) 
1/4  cup green peas 
2-3 green chilies 
1/4 cup nuts
Salt as needed 
1/2 tsp sugar 
4-6 curry leaves 
1/2 tsp mustard seeds 
1 and 1/2 tablespoon oil / ghee 
1 tsp dry urad dal
1 tsp dry Chana dal 
1 tsp lime juice 
1 tablespoon cilantro

Take oil and cook the nuts in oil till brown 

Take out the nuts and in same oil add Chana dal and urad dal and let it cook for few minutes till golden brown not too dark

Add mustard seeds and curry leaves and let it sizzle 

Then add semolina and cook on low heat till it changes color and is fragrant (7-10 minutes) 

Add salt and sugar 

Add chopped veggies and green chilies to water and microwave it for 1 minute and it’s important to add hot water to upma 

Now add nuts and hot water to semolina mix on stove top and keep mixing with your hand, if needed add more water 

Squeeze fresh lime juice and mix it and serve upma hot 

To make it look fancy, fill a cup with upma and flip it upside down on plate and the sprinkle thin sev over it or can serve with coconut chutney
