Roast the semiya if you have plain semiya in hand.  Chop the carrots, thaw the frozen peas, slice onions, slit green chillies, chop ginger, coriander leaves and keep aside.

Heat a pan with oil, I used sunflower oil, you can also use coconut oil which gives a nice flavour to your upma. Add mustard seeds, when it splutters add cumin seeds, urad Dhal, chopped ginger. Sauté for a minute, then add sliced onions, slit green chillies, curry leaves. Sauté well until the onions turn brown.

Then add finely chopped carrots, thawed peas, stir well. Add little salt, mix well. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes.

Add boiled water or just add normal water, cover the pan. When it starts to boil, check for salt, then add roasted semiya. Mix well. Keep the flame in medium-low, cover the pan with lid and cook for 10 mins. It will be cooked, if there is excess water, stir until all water is gone.

Garnish with cilantro/coriander leaves and serve hot.

It can be eaten as such or with your favorite chutney, tomato ketchup.
