I don't feel like cooking today ... only because its not fun cooking for just one person.. So, I decided to cook something fast and yummy and something that would make me want to eat :) For those who hate the normal Upma, this is a good variation and is a hit with the kids as well.
What you will need :
- Sooji ½ cup
- Chopped tomatoes 2
- Chopped onion 1 small
- Green peas ¼ cup (optional)
- Grated carrot ¼ cup (optional)
- Curry leaves 6 to 8
- Finely chopped coriander 1 tbsp
- Bay leaf 1
- Cinnamon 1 inch
- Cardamom 3
- Cloves 2
- Ginger garlic paste
- Water one and a half cups
- Oil 1 to 2 tsp
- A pinch of turmeric
- Salt to taste
How to make it :
- Dry roast the sooji till a nice aroma comes out.
- Heat oil in a kadai and add bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamoms, and cloves.
- Add chopped onion and curry leaves. Fry till onions turn translucent.
- Add chopped tomatoes. and cook till tomatoes are done.
- Add turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, green peas, and grated carrot. Fry for a minute or two.
- Add water and salt to taste, and bring to a boil.
- Add sooji slowly stirring continually to avoid formation of lumps. Cover and cook on a slow fire stirring occasionally till done.
- Serve hot garnished with chopped coriander and a dash of ghee.
