How to serve upma?

 

You can serve upma with  lots of side item some of are

 

• Fresh Curd

Fresh curd with a little salt and a pinch of red chili powder. If you like the flavor of roasted cumin powder then you can sprinkle it over curd.

• Matar curry

Upma with matar curry is famous in my region. The local language of peas is matar. It may be green or yellow. Matar curry is a side dish of upma. Matar curry deserves a separate post. I will share this matar curry in a different post. Here I am sharing matar curry shortly to give you an idea about matar curry.

Boil matar( Peas )and potato in a cooker. Then make a curry with ginger, garlic, onion paste. Add regular routine masala like cumin pwd, coriander pwd, red chilly pwd, turmeric pwd then add tomato puree, salt then adds garam masala pwd. In the end, add plenty of chopped coriander leaves. The consistency of curry may be runny or thick according to your choice but If curry is semi-runny type then upma will easy to eat with curry.

If you add less water to upma then your upma becomes dry type upma.

If you add a little more water in upma then it will become loose type upma.

Notes

• Don’t roast for a long time. 
• No need to change the color of the suji. Roast only till an aroma comes from suji.
• When you add suji into boil water add it in two-phase. In the first phase add 1 tbsp of roasted suji. In the second phase add all the suji. In this procedure, suji will mix properly without any problems.
• If you want dry type then add the proper amount of water.
• If you want loose type then add a little more water to make loose type upma.
