Broken Wheat Upma / Matar Dalia / Gothuma Ravva Upma

 If you are bored of eating Ravva upma or Semiya Upma, you can try this Upma with Broken Wheat.  It tastes nice, filling and a very healthy food.  I added potatoes and green peas in this. You can add carrots, tomatoes and onions too. 

You can have with any chutney, side dish or pickle.

Ingredients (Serves 3-4)

1 cup Broken Wheat (Dalia)

1/2 cup Peas (I used Frozen Peas)

1 Potato

2 Green Chillies

2 tablespoon Oil

1/2 teaspoon Cumin Seeds

1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Seeds

1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder

1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder

1/2 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder

1 teaspoon Coriander Powder

1 teaspoon Salt

2 tablespoon chopped coriander

1 tablespoon Lemon juice

1. Soak broken wheat in water for about 1 hour. Drain water and keep it aside. Cut Potato to small cubes. Slit green chillies. Heat a pan with oil, add cumin seeds. When cumin seeds start to splutter add green chillies saute for a minute, add potato cubes. Saute for 2-3 minutes.

2. Add all powders and greean peas, mix it add 1/4 cup of water. Close the lid and cook it till all the water evaporates.

3. Then add broken wheat stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Close it with a lid cook again on low flame for another 5 minutes stirring in between. Remove from fire. Add Chopped coriander and lemon juice.

4. This upma sticks to the bottom of the pan, so better to make in a non stick pan.
