Uppama Ingredients
6 tbsp vegetable oil
1 pinch asafetida
1/2 tsp whole black mustard seeds
1 whole dried hot red pepper
1 tsp chana dal
2 tsp urad dal
1/2 medium onion, peeled and minced
1 cup finely shredded cabbage - firmly pa, cked
1 small potato, peeled - cut into 1/4-inc
2 tbsp shelled peas
1 fresh hot green chili - minced
1/2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup cream of wheat - (15 minute variety, )
1 1/4 cup boiling water
1 tbsp finely minced cilantro
Uppama Directions
Pour the oil into a medium or large skillet set over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, add the asafetida, mustard seeds, red pepper,
chana dal, and urad dal. When dals turn reddish in color, add to the
pan the onion, cabbage, potato, peas, green chili, and ginger.
Increase heat to medium-high and cook the mixture, stirring all the
while, for about 2 minutes. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and
simmer until vegetables done, about 5-6 minutes. Uncover and mix in
salt. Increase heat to medium and add cream of wheat. Cook 5 minutes,
stirring the mixture and being careful not to let the cream of wheat
brown. Decrease heat to low.
Add boiling water, a couple of tablespoons at a time, stirring after
each addition and allowing water to be absorbed before adding more.
(More water may be used if a moister uppama is desired.)
Continue stirring and cooking over low heat for 10 more minutes.
Garnish with minced cilantro for serving.
Serves: 4
