Vegetable Upma

Don't know why there are many haters for upma.Probably the making makes the difference between hating it and loving it. I like upma especially when my mom makes it.

Ingredients:

• Carrot -1 
• Beans -6 to 7 nos

To temper:

• Oil-2 tbsp

• Urad dhal -1/2 tsp
• Channa dhal -1/2 tsp
• Curry leaves -1 spring
• Asafoetida -A pinch
• Ginger -1/2 an inch (optional)

Method:

• Dry roast rava/sooji for about 2 minutes till you get nice aroma. This avoids formation of lumps while making upma.
• Finely chop carrot.potato and beans.
• In a pan temper with items given under 'to temper'.
• Add onion and green chilli.When onion turns transparent add the vegetables.
• Once the vegetables are cooked add tomato add salt.
• when tomato turns soft add 2&1/2cups of water.When it comes to boil add yoghurt mix well,Check for salt and spice and add the roasted rava.
• Mix gently so that there are no lumps.Add coriander leaves let it cook covered in a low flame for 5 minutes.

Notes:

• Adding curd enhances the taste.I used frozen peas.
