[tscii]Aarthii your upma.


CRACKED WHEAT UPMA

Ingredients:
2 cups cracked wheat
1 cup any veges cut into small pieces
1 onion chopped fine
2 green chillies chopped
1 tsp ginger chopped
2 pips garlic crushed
1 sprig curry leaves
2 tsp oil
½ tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
1 tbs channa dal
½ tsp cumin seeds
4 cups water
Salt to taste
1 tsp ghee

Method:
Heat a tsp of ghee and roast the cracked wheat till you get a good aroma.
( You can skip this step if you do not like) It will be extra yummy if you do.

Heat oil in a wok, add the mustard seeds, urad dal, channa dal,
and the cumin seeds. Add also the garlic and curry leaves.

After few seconds add in the ginger, green chillies, onion and sauté well.
Add in the cut veges and salt, mix nicely.
When the veges are half cooked pour in the 4 cups of water.

Let it come to a nice boil, lower the flame and add in the roasted cracked wheat slowly while stirring the dish continuously.
Make sure there are no lumps. Cover it with a lid and cook further
on a very low flame.

When all the water is absorbed, remove the lid and mix it gently.
You can serve it as it is or with any pickle.

This is quick one-pot meal and very healthy too.

kugan,
same like ur broken wheat uppma, i also make. I used to prepare in the pressure pan. As u said it is healthy too.

Also we can prepare pongal with that. Fry broken wheat, with that (4:1 broken wheat:moong dhal) moong dhal , water and salt pressure cook and give tadka separately like pongal. This is different in taste and healthy too.
