Mandakki upma

Sunday morning we had decided to make Sabudana Khichdi. But the soaking of sabudana wasnt enough and it was already 9.30A.M., so I decided to prepare Mandakki Upma. It took just 15 minutes.

Ingredients: (Serves 3-4 people)
Murmura/ churmuri, wash & soak in water and remove immediately- 2 large cups
2 Green Chillies- finely chopped
2 medium sized Onions- Chopped
Jeera & Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsps each
Turmeric- qtr tsp
Curry Leaves
Kadle pappu powder/Roasted Bengal Gram powder- 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Oil
Juice of 1 Lemon
Coriander for garnishing

Method:
Heat the oil in a large Kadai. Put the mustard seeds & Jeera and let it splutter. Now add green chillies, Curry leaves & Chopped Onions. Once the onions turn pink, add Turmeric Powder & Salt. Now add the soaked Churmuri to this and mix well, till it gets coated well with the onion mixture. Keep stirring. Now add the kadle pappu powder, and mix well again. The upma is cooked once it is hot. Remove from fire and add the lemon juice and mix. Now Garnish it with chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with Mirchi bajji....tastes best with it :-).
