Vegetable Upma


By RAWk Me! (Visit website)



Upma, or savoury semolina porridge, is a staple of any self respecting South Indian household. This tasty breakfast staple is best eaten piping hot and can be endlessly adapted depending on what you add to the basic semolina mix. Carrots and peas are the most commonly used veggies used to complement this dish.

We also have handy upma pre-mixes available - most famously by MTR, which is what I had and happily used this morning. I was originally going to make a ragi (millet) based upma, but then I realized I hadn't soaked my ragi overnight, so, screw that!

The pre-mix is essentially semolina with all the seasonings - so all you have to do is pour the mix into boiling water. In case you cannot find such a pre-mix, go to the bottom of the post for the full version of the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cup upma pre-mix
1 1/2 cups of assorted vegetables (I used carrots, onions, peppers, cabbage, tomato)
1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
Coriander to garnish
To make:
Bring two cups of water to a boil in a pot.

Drop the cup of pre-mix semolina into the water and let it cook for 5-7 minutes.

Be sure to stir regularly to ensure no lumps are formed.
When the semolina looks cooked (no more than 7 minutes, usually), turn off the gas.

Add the vegetables. Stir thoroughly.

Garnish with the coriander and squeeze a quarter of a lime over.
Serve immediately.


If you do not or cannot find an upma premix packet, use plain semolina and add the following in addition to the ingredients outlined above:
2 green chillies slit lengthwise
1" piece of ginger grated3/4 tsp mustard seedsPinch of turmeric powder
