Heat ghee in a pan. Add mustard seeds

When the mustards splutter, add curry leaves, ginger, onion, and green chillies

When the onion turns brown, add required salt, then add water and allow it to boil.

When the water comes to a rolling boil, lower the flame to its lowest. Then add the semolina in 4 to 5 batches with a spoon.

Once you add the semolina, stir immediately then add the next batch of semolina. Stir again and this way keep on adding and stirring the semolina up to the last batch.Quickly stir and mix well. The grains absorb water and thus swell and get cooked.

Cover and allow the semolina upma to steam for 2 minutes on the low flame.then swtich off the flame. here the semolina is cooked and the upma is ready.
