Hello and welcome to Masala Trails,
for the uninitiated,
Upma is a very popular breakfast dish across many parts of India.
It is a dish that is cheap to make, nutritious,
filling and something that will take you through till lunch.
So let just get started.
I've got a cup of Semolina here, which I'm just going to dry roast.
Okay, now my Semolina's...
it's not completely brown yet.
But that's not how we want it either, this is like a lovely golden.
So I'm just gonna switch off the gas right now.
And keep it to.
In a deep bottomed pan, take some Oil.
You can use any Oil that you like.
Just let it heat up.
Once the Oil is hot add a tsp of Mustard Seeds and let them crackle.
To this I'm going to add 3-4 slit Green Chillies,
about an inch of Ginger, finely chopped,
some folks also like to add some Red Chillies, dried Red Chillies, but
I prefer the green.
Which is why I'm sticking to my version of the recipe.
To this I'm going to add a pinch of Asafoetida Powder.
I've got about 2 small Onions, finely chopped.
I'm going to add some Salt to taste now.
I don't want my Onions to be hard or anything like that..
I just want them to be cooked that's all.
So just a little bit like,
as long as they're translucent and that's good enough.
Okay, now to this we're gonna add a pinch of Turmeric,
another tsp of Chilli Powder,
Mix it up!
Now I've got with me a Carrot, finely chopped.
I'm gonna add that in.
I've got about 7-8 French Beans, again finely chopped.
I've got about 1/2 a cup of fresh Peas,
I'm gonna add that as well.
Mix it with the Onions.
Just a little bit of Water, to just help cook the vegetables.
And cover it up for 3 mins.
The Water has dried up completely and..
..my vegetables are also like 80% cooked.
Which is perfect!
To this I'm gonna add my Dry roasted Semolina.
Just fold it in really nicely,
so that the vegetables are mixed thoroughly.
Now I'm gonna add some Water.
So the ratio should be followed for cooking the upma is,
1:2, so 1 cup of Semolina and 2 cups of Water,
so I'm going to adhere to that as well.
Now to this I'm going to add a tsp of Ghee.
You can put whatever vegetables you like into this,
this is what felt like today, so this is what I put in to it.
If you also feel like you don't want it with too many vegetables
you could go do that as well.
Okay, now to this I'm gonna add some Coriander.
And that's it, breakfast is ready to be served.
So that's our humble Upma ready to be served,
