0 Comments

 
Vegetable Upma is an easy and vey popular South Indian breakfast. Add a lot of vegetables to make it more healthy. Without the vegetables the refined upma rava will raise your blood sugar levels.
Ingredients
1 cup of sooji/semolina/upma rava
2 cups of water
onions
carrots
cabbage
green peas
cilantro
1/2 a lemon
salt
1 tbsp ghee
For tempering
1-1&1/2 tbsp oil
about 2 tbsp of cashews
1 tbsp chana dal
1 tbsp urad dal
1 tbsp chopped ginger
3-4 green chilies
1 tsp mustard seeds
few curry leaves

Preparation
Chop ginger into small pieces.
Cut green chili into round shape pieces.
Cut onions, carrots and cabbage into small pieces.
Chop cilantro finely.

Procedure
Place a thick bottom pan on medium heat. Take oil into the pan. When the oil is hot add chana dal, urad dal, mustard seeds, ginger and green chili. Keep stirring. Then add cashew nuts also. When the chana dal is changing color add curry leaves then onions. Fry the onions for a minute and then add carrots, cabbage and green peas. Fry them for 1 or 2 minutes. Then add water. Add salt also. Let the water come to a boil. Then add the sooji slowly while stirring with your other hand. Keep the flame on low while adding sooji. Add 1 tbsp ghee and mix it well. Squeeze fresh lemon and cilantro. Serve it hot.

Helpful tips
You may also roast sooji before adding into water to avoid forming lumps. But if you keep stirring while adding sooji rava slowly also avoid forming lumps.

Health information
Sooji rava /semolina is a refined carbohydrate which raises blood sugar levels. You can prevent that by adding more fiber in the form of vegetables to it. So the glycemic index(GI) of the whole thing will be lowered.
