Bulgur Wheat Upma

Bulgur Wheat Upma... Or just.. apna Dalia Upma

My dad loves this nashta that my mom makes often...

To speak the truth.. I never quite liked it,in my childhood... Too healthy n boring for a teenager 😜

But off late.. I have been drooling thinking of this filling and easy breakfast option. 

Mom gave me the recipe on phone..am sure she was thinking.... Bachpan ka naatak sab bhool gayi.. Abhi recipe chahiye😜

It is such a simple rustic recipe...

So you won't get wowed by the recipe.. But one spoonful and I am sure you will love it. (exact words from my lil girl.. Who polished off a plate of the upma)

Dalia 1cup

Mustard seeds 1tsp

Jeera1/2tsp

Urad dal (split) 1tsp

Chana dal1tsp

Cashew (optional) -a few

Ground nut- a few

Chopped onion 1

Chopped green chilly 2

Curry leaves a few

Chopped coriander

Heat a kadhai with a mix of oil and ghee.

Splutter the mustard, add jeera, cashew, ground nuts, urad dal, chana dal and saute til golden.. Add the chopped onions, green chilly and the curry leaves.

Once the onions turn transparent, add the dalia and fry till most of them puff to a white colour...

Add a pinch of turmeric (optional)..saute.

Add the water, enough salt, a dash of jaggery(optional) and juice half a lime.

Mix well.... Add the chopped coriander.
