Ayubowan! I warmly welcome you to my YouTube channel
Today's tutorial is on how to make Upma
The main ingredient for this dish is Semolina
This dish was originated from India
Let's take a look at the required ingredients
We will need semolina (500g)
And it needs to be fried on a pan on medium heat
We will also need Garlic
Pepper, Mustard seeds
Cumin seeds
Green chillies
Finely sliced onions
Dried chillies
Curry leaves
Green peas
Carrot (cut into cubes)
Capsicum (diced)
First we will fry the semolina
Heat up a wide pan and add the semolina
Fry the semolina until it turns slightly brown
Next is tempering
Heat up a wide pan
Add some oil
Add the onions
Mustard seeds (1tbs)
Let it fry well until the onions are translucent
Add garlic
Green chillies, curry leaves, and the dried chillies
Cumin seeds
mix well
Add the capsicum and carrots
The smaller the carrots cubes, the better, as the carrot takes time to cook
Feel free to add some chilli powder and curry powder at this point, if preferred
We will add the green peas in while, allowing the carrots to be cooked
Add some water
Keep the pan closed for 3-4mins in order for the carrots to cook
Now I will add the green peas
A pinch of salt
A bit of turmeric (for colour)
I will need to add a bit more water
Because we need to retain some moisture on the pan when adding the semolina
Next add the Semolina
Turn down the heat and mix well
Do not cook for long as it will get dry and get stuck to the pan
If required, add a bit more water
And finally, add a bit of pepper for taste
The dish is ready to be served
I also added some cashew, sultanas and fried onions as garnish
I also need to remind that you can use Ghee or Butter in place of vegetable oil when tempering
Until we meet again, have a great day!
Ayubowan!
