healthy and nutritious    Upma is a south indian dish usually served as breakfast. Its made from semolina. Non south Indians serve upma anytime, be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack. I usually make it either for brunch, as a snack or as a light meal. I prefer to use the coarse semolina as the fine one makes it into one gooey mass. In south India special semolina is available for upma. Its coarse and light brown in colour. Most places serve upma with just a few vegetables that you can actually count or none at all. I prefer to add more vegetables and for a bit of sour taste I add sour yogurt. Very healthy and a satisfying dish.  updated 19/02/2016 UPMA  4 servings 1 cup coarse semolina (sooji, rava) 3 cups warm water 1 cup mixed boiled vegetables ½ cup finely chopped onion 1 tsp mustard seeds (rai) 1 tbsp white urad dal (split skinless black gram lentils) 1 tbsp raisins 2 tbsps cashew nut pieces 10 curry leaves (kari patta, limbdi) ¼ cu...
