Upma Sooji (Cream of Wheat)
April 15th, 2007 filed under Miscellaneous, VeganUpma Sooji is a great dish for breakfast or brunch.
Serving for 2.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sooji (rawa, semolina flour)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seed
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
- 20 peanuts
- 1 chopped green pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup green peas
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Method
Boil the green peas in 1 1/4 cup of water. As water comes to boil turn heat to low and continue cooking until peas are tender. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if it cracks right away oil is ready. Add black mustard seed and cumin seed.
As seeds crack, add peanuts and stir for one minute. Now add green pepper and stir for half a minute. Add sooji and stir-fry about 3 minutes on medium heat till sooji turns gold brown. Add green peas with water a little at a time, otherwise water will splatter. Add lemon juice and cover for 2 minutes.
Sooji will absorb some of the water leaving the upma moist. Now add the cilantro and stir. Serve while hot.

Are there two kinds of sooji? I used fine sooji and it tasted more like a dessert then upma. Please advise. Thankyou.
