- Add turmeric powder and give a quick stir then add onions saute till slightly browned.Now add cooked veggies along with spice powders and required salt.Let the veggies blend with the masala powders.
- Now add soaked poha...by now poha would have absorbed the water fully.Give a quick mix and cook for 2mins.Finally add roasted peanut, garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
My Notes:
- You can even add tomatoes with onions.
- You have lot of variations to this easy upma, skip jeera while tempering add roasted jeera powder.You can even add a pinch of sambar powder.
- Adding veggies is your choice, you can add favorite veggies of your choice.
