green chilli - 2-3, slit
ginger a small piece, chopped

urad dal - 1 tsp.
mustard - 1/2 tsp.


fry suji in 2 tb-ghee/oil till golden/aroma comes. keep aside.

heat sesame oil(any cooking oil can be used), but sesame adds to the flavour.

put mustard seeds and when it splutters, add the dals, and when they are brown, add the chopped ginger, onion, curry leaves, and slit green chilli. saute for 2 minutes.

add 1 1/2 cup water and salt. when it boils, add 1 tsp. oil and the suji and stir continuously. cook till its dry.

hi,
thanx to tulipdxb and Cynthia. i will be very much grateful if Cynthia can send the recipes from aval vikatan. am also expecting some variation in upma varieties to make it more tastier like adding vegetables,flavours etc. upma is a dish which is easy to make but hated by husbands. i found many of my friends complaining that their husbands always said 'no' to upmas. i thought i could get some recipes to make upmas more 'hubby acceptable'.

Hi Tharuna

u can add veggies like cabbage, cauliflower, french beans, carrot, peas, potato , beetroot tomato etc. , which have to be sauteed first before adding water.

also, add a pinch of turmeric powder can be added to the water when it boils.
