Pepper and Tomato Upma

My mom, seeing that I hadn't eaten anything till 11 am today, was nice enough to make a batch of upma for me today. However, I did supervise the cooking - since she usually loves to cook stuff for much longer than I would like, and does not put in quite as much veggies as I would like. I added green peppers, carrots, and tomatoes this time.

Pepper and Tomato Upma


Ingredients:

• 1 cup semolina or an upma premix
• 1 green pepper
• 1 carrot
• 1 tomato
• 1/2 onion
• 1 large green chilli
• 1/2 cup of water
• Teaspoon of vegetable oil
• Half a lime

To make:

• In a pan, gently dry roast the semolina/upma premix for a minute or two.
• In another pot, heat the oil and saute the onions and the chilli.
• Add the roasted semolina and cook for approximately 7-10 minutes.
• Once the semolina is cooked, turn off the gas and add the chopped up vegetables.
• Serve immediately with lashings of lime juice.
