Walk down the south Indian menu and you will find a variety of breakfast dishes of which Upma is an integral part. Upma again is made in different ways and today I'm sharing with you an easy tomato based tangy Tomato Upma.
The key ingredient in a Upma is sooji or rava or semolina. Semolina is high in protein, rich in B vitamins like folate and thiamine and also has large amounts of Selenium, that works as an anti-oxidant and helps in strengthening the immune system.
This tomato upma can be served along side a vegetable preparation and in this case it is served with Carrot beans fry. You can also serve it with a dal such as Hyderabadi khatti dal.
To add a crunch to this soft upma you can add peanuts or cashew nuts while frying the tomatoes. Here comes the detailed recipe :-
Ingredients:
- Sooji/rava/semolina - 1 & 1/2 cups
- Tomato - 3 nos
- Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
- Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
- Green chillies - 4 nos
- Coriander leaves - few
- Curry leaves - 2 sprigs
- Salt - to taste
- Oil - 2 tbsp
- Water - 2 glasses
Method :
- Heat oil in a deep bottomed vessel.
- Add mustard seeds, when they splutter add curry leaves followed by roughly chopped tomatoes.
- Add turmeric powder, slit green chillies, coriander leaves and salt to taste.
- Cover with lid and cook till tomatoes turn pulpy.
- Remove the lid and add water.
- Next add in the sooji or semolina. Keep stirring as you add in the sooji to avoid any lump formation. Give a good mix. As soon as the water dries up switch off the gas.
