Wheat sooji Uppuma

Wheat sooji Uppuma

Very rarely we prefer wheat sooji at home but it’s healthy tiffin especially for those above 40’s. 

Ingredients:

Broken wheat / sooji – 1 cup, slightly fried

Onion – 1 medium size, cleaned and chopped

Carrot – 1 medium size, finely chopped

Cabbage – chopped 1 cup

Green chilli – 1 medium size, chopped

Tomato – 1 small size, chopped

Coriander leaves – 1 sprig

Salt to taste

To temper:

Oil – 2 tbsp

Urad dal – 1 tbsp

Mustard seeds – 1 tsp

Curry leaves – 1 sprig

Method:

Heat oil in a pan/cheenachutty – add items listed under ‘to temper’ in the given order and allow to splutter. Add onion sauté until it turns light brown, sprinkle salt on onion to get fried soon. Now add the veggies and sauté for few minutes then add 2-3 cups of water with salt and bring it to boil till it gets cooked. Add the broken wheat to the water, cook on medium heat for few minutes till the water gets absorbed. Garnish with coriander leaves to get a nice aroma. Serve hot with sambar /rasam / chutney.

Note: I use cabbage instead of beans for my kid to identify and pick chillies out from uppuma.
