Easy to make and high on nutritional value, this millet Upma is a healthy addition to your list of breakfast/dinner menu.

Tip: soak the millet before cooking as millets drink a lot of water and take more time to cook. So soaking will reduce your cooking time.

Steps

1

Soak the millet in sufficient water for 15/20 minutes. Drain and keep aside. Don’t skip soaking, as it would increase the cooking time.
2

Chop the veggies of your choice. I have used carrots, beans, tomato and peas. You can use corn, beet root, cauliflower etc. Avoid adding capsicum as it will be overcooked by the time Upma is cooked.
3

Heat oil, temper with mustard seeds, split chickpeas and black lentils. Once crackles, add onion, green chilli, grated ginger and curry leaves.
4

Now goes in the chopped veggies and salt, turmeric. Fry for few minutes before adding the millet. Mix well and fry another couple of minutes.
5

Heat 4 cups water separately and add in to the Upma pan. Cook covered in low medium flame until Upma is ready. Easily takes 20 minutes.
6

After turning off the heat, sprinkle lemon juice and coriander leaves. Serve with your choice of sides like any chutney/ketchup.
