Kaaju Upma

This being one of the most simple breakfasts' made in the Southern India, I thought I already uploaded the recipe. Like many other dishes, this Upma has a million versions to it and they all taste different but equally tasty. The upma recipe I am giving here is my house version. So enjoy!

Kaaju Upma (Wheat grits with Cashew)
Ingredients:
  1. 2 cups upma ravva
  2. 1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
  3. 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, mustard seeds, urad dal, finely chopped ginger
  4. 1 teaspoon chana dal soaked in water for 5 minutes
  5. 1-2 tablespoons cashew pieces, chopped coriander
  6. 1 green chilly chopped
  7. 2 red chillies broken
  8. few curry leaves
  9. Kaju Upma
  10. 1 teaspoon each of oil, clarified butter
Toast the upma ravva to a golden brown color. Take care not to burn it

In a pan heat the oil and butter and fry the cashew for a couple of minutes. Add all the other ingredients which need frying. Add 3 cups of water and salt and let it come to a boil./ Reduce the heat and add the toasted ravva and cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and cook further covered for 5 more minutes. Serve hot with Indian Pickles
