Ingredients
Dalia – Dalia also known as Broken Wheat is a nutritious substitute to rava or rice, which is getting popular day by day. It is high in protein and also has many nutritional benefits.
Vegetables – I like to add a lot of veggies in this Upma to make it wholesome. I have added carrot, peas, onions, green chilies, and beans, but you can add more vegetables of your choice such as Capsicum, Green Onions, Mushrooms, etc. You can also use up all your leftover vegetables to make this Upma.
Ghee & Oil – I have used a combination of Ghee and Oil, but you can use either of them to make the Dalia. You can even use Olive Oil to make this Upma.
Peanuts & Cashew Nuts – I love the bite peanuts and cashew nuts add to this Upma. You can even skip adding them or use one of them in this Upma.
Curry Leaves – I love the subtle flavor curry leaves gives to the Upma and also adds that South Indian touch to the same.
Green Chillies – To add that much-needed spiciness, add in the green chilies. You can increase or decrease the amount of chilies according to your taste preference.
Lemon Juice & Coriander Leaves – Lemon juice adds a nice tangy taste to the Upma, whereas Coriander leaves add a refreshing taste.
Others – Apart from the above-mentioned ingredients, you will need Hing, Mustard Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Ginger, Water, and Salt to enhance the taste even more.
