How to Make Sooji Ka Upma Semolina Upma
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon chana dal (split chickpeas), and 1 tablespoon urad dal (split black lentils). Saute until the seeds splutter and the dals turn golden brown (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and saute until translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add 1 cup semolina (sooji) and saute until lightly browned, stirring constantly, for about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of water (or more, as needed for desired consistency). Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida (hing), 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and a pinch of red chili powder (optional).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the semolina is cooked through and the water is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Fluff with a fork and garnish with 1/4 cup grated coconut (optional). Serve hot!
