The ingredients for Sooji Upma are:

1 cup water
1/2 cup Cream of Wheat, or sooji
1/2 cup frozen mixed veggies or peas
1 T vegetable or canola oil
1/8 cup raw cashews or peanuts - no salt
1 T finely chopped chili pepper, or jalapeno
2 T finely chopped onion, optional
1/2 tsp cumin seed
1/2 tsp black mustard seed
2 T fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 t lemon juice
salt to taste, or approx 1/2 tsp

Here is how you make Sooji Upma:

To begin, place the frozen veggies in a small pot & add your water. Bring to a boil then turn off the heat & let the veggies continue to thaw while you begin the 2nd step of this meal.Heat a regular size skillet on med-high heat. Once heated, add your oil. Once oil is heated, add your chili pepper & your cashews (or peanuts). If you are using onion too, add that at this time. Reduce heat to medium & continue to saute for one minute.Next, add your cumin seed & black mustard seed. Saute until you hear the mustard seeds beginning to pop - about 30 seconds.At this time, you add in your sooji & toss until it begins to turn a golden brown color. Also add in your salt at this time.Once sooji is golden slowly pour your veggies & water into this dish. Stir thoroughly to combine. Also add in your lemon juice & cilantro at this time. Mix all ingredients until all of the liquid has been absorbed, this should ecomes a bit of a soft, crumbly mixture.Now, your sooji is ready to serve. You may eat this as is, with sliced tomatoes or with a drizzle of Tomato Rasam poured over it. I love it with Tomato Rasam. This is a healthy & delicious meal that is good at any time but is especially popular as a breakfast meal in India. Enjoy!Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RIMAJO.
