This is another recipe that works out very well that I have adapted into my day to day cooking. I got it from the following website: http://cookingmarvel.in/south/plain_upma.html


INGREDIENTS


Suji
300 gms
Water (in proportion to Suji)
3 times
Salt
To taste
Onion (in fine long cuts or chopped)
2
Green chilly (finely chopped)
2
Ginger (finely chopped)
1
Chana Dal
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

Roast suji in kadahi without oil to light brown color. Boil water. Heat oil in a kadahi. Put tadka of mustard seeds, green chilly, ginger and kari patta. 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. Sprinkle coriander leaves.
