Cracked Wheat/Broken Wheat Upma (Vegetable Upma)

                                

Cracked wheat/broken wheat  (Godhuma rava in telugu) is not processed one,  so it is good source of fiber.  Preparing   Upma  with this for breakfast is a healthy option. I have added veggies to make it more nutritious and healthy.

Ingredients:

Cracked wheat -   1 cup (roasted)
Mixed vegetables  -   1 cup (carrot, beans, peas)

For  seasoning: 

Oil – 2 tsp

Onion - (1 medium, cut into thin and long pieces)
Green chillies - (2, cut into pieces)

Mustard seeds/aavalu – 1 tsp

Cumin seeds/jeera -1 tsp

Curry leaves – few

Roasted   pea nuts/palli - handful (optional)

Cinnamon stick (1 no, 1 inch  stick, optional)

Bay leave    (1 No, optional)

Cilantro/kothimeera    (chopped, ½ bunch, optional)

Preparation method:

Heat oil in a sauce pan,  add mustard seeds, cumin seeds when it splutters, add green chillies, onions, curry leaves, cinnamon stick, bay leave, roasted peanuts  and sauté it  till onions turn into  light brown colour.

Then add all the vegetables and cook it  further  for 4-5 minutes. 

Now   add 5 cups of  water, required salt, chopped cilantro and bring  it  to boil.

Then simmer   the flame  and  add  roasted rava  slowly,  with continuous stirring  to prevent it  from forming lumps.

Place the lid and   cook on low flame, stirring in between, till all the water has evaporated and it becomes soft.  

Hot Upma is ready to serve.  Eat with your favourite chutney.
