How to make Upama

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Now you take your semolina and give it into a pan or wok. Switch on your stove and stir it from time to time while it roasts without any oil for about two minutes.

You can then put the green peas into a pot with some water and heat it up until it boils. They only need to boil very shortly so that they are a bit soft.

Heat up the olive oil in a deep pan or wok and when it is hot, add the mustard. You then put the tomatoes into the pan, too. In this recipe you only need to make them warm and fry them a bit but you should not mash them to puree.

Before this happens, you can pour the water into the pan and get it to boil. When it is boiling, you slowly put the semolina into it. At this point you can add salt and lemon according to your taste. You stir from time to time and after about five minutes you will notice that the water has evaporated. Now your upama is done!

You see, a quick and easy breakfast dish!
