Question

preparation of upma and things

Answer 1

Preparation[edit]Upma is usually made with Semolina (called Rava or Suji in India). There are many ways Upma is prepared; indeed, every upma cook usually will incorporate variations in flavour when making Upma. This variation is obtained by varying or emphasising particular spices. A typical recipe includes:
Ingredients[edit]Semolina (Rava) (1 cup)Cooking oil (3-4 tbsp)Mustard seeds (1/2 tsp)Cumin (1 tsp)Asafoetida (1 tsp)Curry LeavesGaram masalaChopped onions (1 med, chopped)Salt to tasteVegetables of choice: Peas, carrotGrated coconut (3-4 tbsp, optional)Lemon juice (2 tsp, optional)Method of preparation[edit]Dry-roast Semolina (rava) until it just begins to turn brown, then keep aside.In a large saucepan/wok, heat the cooking oil.Add mustard seeds and wait for them to sputter. Then add cumin, ginger, green chillies and chopped onions and fry until onions caramelise.Add vegetables, salt and 2 cups of water, and bring to boil.Add the roasted rava, turn down the heat, and mix quickly to avoid lumps forming.The upma is done when all the water is absorbed by the rava.Garnish with grated coconut, chopped cilantro leaves and lemon juice.
