Ragi semiya upma

For the final week in this month's Blogging Marathon I have chosen for book marked recipes. I was kind of waiting for this theme. I have lot many recipes bookmarked but somehow never find time or opportunity to make these. So this week I purposefully selected recipes from my bookmarked list which are not usual recipes. 

I am starting this week with a millet based upma. Oflate I find this ragi semiya available in stores. Once I bought this packet but didn't find time and the right recipe to make this. Finally threw the semiya packet - this was some 2 years back. Later I found the recipe in Rak's kitchen and bookmarked it. I added vegetables in addition to the bookmarked recipe. Do try this out. Its easy to make and very healthy too.

Ingredients

Ragi semiya (Anil) - 2 cups

Onion - 1

*Mixed cut vegetables - 1/2 cup

Green chilli - 2

Salt - As needed

To temper

Oil - 1 tsp

Mustard - 3/4 tsp

Urad dal - 1 tsp

Chana dal - 2 tsp

Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Coriander leaves - few

* I used cauliflower, carrot, beans, peas as cut vegetables.

Method:

• Soak the ragi in a liter of water just for 3 minutes. Drain water completely.
• In a steamer (Idli pot), steam for 4-5 minutes.  Once done, fluff to separate the cooked ragi semiya. 
• Cook the cut vegetables in microwave for about 5-6 minutes.
• In a kadai, heat oil and temper with the items given under 'To temper' table. Follow by sliced onion, slit green chilli and fry till onion turn transparent.
• Add the cooked vegetables and salt. Mix well
• Add half the cooked ragi semiya and mix well. Cook for another 1 or 2 minutes.
• Garnish with coriander leaves.

Notes:

• Do not soak the ragi semiya for more than 3 minutes or else the semiya will dissolve in water.
• Ragi semiya will not take much salt or oil so add carefully.
