TOMATO UPMA / TOMATO BATH


Upma is a very popular breakfast dish in South India. It is made either plain or with a few variations like the addition of tomato or vegetables. 

Ingredients:
Semolina .... 1/2 cup
Water ......... 2 & 1/2 cups (boiled)
Tomato ...... 1 chopped finely
Tomato puree ... 1-2 tbsps.
Onion ............... 1 chopped finely
Green chillies .... 1
Red chilli powder ... 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder ... 1/4 tsp.
Sambar powder ...... 1 tsp. (optional)
Ginger ............. 1tsp. (grated)
Ghee ............ 1 tbsp
Oil ............ 2 tbsp.
Salt .......... to taste

For Tempering:
Dry red chillies .... 2
Curry leaves ....... 7-8
Cashewnuts ........ 4-5
Cumin seeds ....... 1 tsp
Mustard seeds .... 1 tsp.
Asafoetida .......... a pinch


Method:
1. Heat oil in a pan. Add all the tempering ingredients. When they crackle add the chopped onion, green chillies and grated ginger. Stir fry for a minute.
2. Now add the chopped tomato, salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, tomato puree and the sambar powder. Mix well and add the semolina and stir fry for a minute till everything is blended.
3. Reduce the flame and add the boiling water stirring continuously to avoid lumps. At this stage add the ghee and mix it well.
Serve hot immediately with any chutney. This upma tastes good even without any chutney.
(you can prepare everything before and add the water when you are ready to serve.For variation you can also put green peas or carrots if you like.
