Water (in proportion to Suji)
3 times
Salt
To taste

Green chilly (finely chopped)
2
Ginger (finely chopped)

1 tsp
Urad Dal
1 tsp
Kari Patta
5-7
Mustard Seeds (moti)
1 tsp
Oil for tadka
2 tbsp
Lemon
1
Coriander Leaves (finely choppes)
A few


METHOD

Add chana dal and urad dal and fry it in the tadka for 2 minutes. Add onion to it and fry it for 2 minutes. Add water, salt and lemon juice and wait for the water to boil. Slowly add roasted suji keeping the flame high, while stirring continuously and taking care not to form lumps. Within 2-3 minutes, the Upma should be ready. It should not be too dry nor too wet.
