One of the easiest breakfast recipes is upma. Simple and easy to make upma when combined with kaju makes it even more delicious. Jeedipappu upma as it is called is very famous in Andhra.
INGREDIENTS
Suji 2 cups
Cashews 1/4 cup
Chana and urad dals 2 Tsp
Mustard seeds 1 Tsp
Water 4 cups
Milk 1/2 cup
Ghee 2 Tsp
Oil 4 Tsp
Chilies 3 finely chopped
Curry leaves 10 finely chopped
Salt to taste
PROCEDURE
Heat oil and ghee in a pan and add the cashews.
Immediately add the chana dal, urad dal, mustard seeds.
When the dals and cashews turn golden brown add curry leaves, chillies.
Now add the boiling water and milk. (by using boiling water you save time and moreover the cashews don't become soggy and soft)
Now add the salt.
By mixing continuously add the suji. See that no lumps are formed.
Once the suji absorbed all the water, decrease the flame, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
By this time the upma will be well cooked and oil will start to come on the top.
This is when you can switch off the flame and serve the delicious jeedipappu upma.
TIPS
Don't add any veggies or ginger which will dominate kaju.
Milk gives an added taste, you can also skip milk.
If you are not calorie conscious add more of ghee and eliminate oil.
