#sf - in this recipe, I replaced semolina with Black Rice and it turned out real amazing. So it is a nice change from the usual sooji upma and you can introduce something new to your dear ones.

Steps

1

Wash the black rice well and rinse. Keep aside to dry completely. Dry roast in a pan for 4-5 minutes till it starts popping. Then grind into a slightly coarse powder, just like semolina and keep aside.
2

Heat oil in a pan and temper with mustard seeds and dry red chili. After it stops spluttering, add green chilies, urad dal, curry leaves and ginger. Sauté for a minute.
3

Then add the chopped onion and cashew nuts. Sauté till light brown. Now add all the veggies and green peas. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
4

Add 2 cups water and salt to taste. Bring it to a boil. Then gently add the ground black rice and keep stirring till it thickens.
5

Switch off the flame. Add the ghee and lime juice. Give it a mix and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
6

Serve this amazing healthy upma with coconut-mint chutney, pickle, podi, fried curd chilies or some chips.
