Upma, a very common and quick South Indian breakfast dish, is not very popular unlike its counterpart, the famous Masala Dosa. People either love or hate Upma. I know of many kids and adults alike who hate to hear the phrase 'upma for breakfast'. I don't belong to that category, though.

Instructions to make Oat Upma:
  1. Roast oats for about 5 - 10 minutes in a wide pan on a medium flame until it turns light brown. Set this aside to cool. This helps to remove the husky smell.
  2. Heat a pan with oil. Add the following:  Mustard seeds, cumin seeds, peanuts - preferably broken, chana and urad dal and fry till golden.
  3. Add Hing, Ginger, Chili, Curry leaves and fry till the leaves turn crisp
  4. Add onions and fry till they turn transparent. Meanwhile, rinse the oats in a colander under running water and drain up the entire water.
  5. Once the onions are well fried add turmeric. If you prefer to use tomato you can add it now and fry till it turns mushy and reduce the flame to low.
  6. Add the rinsed oats, sprinkle salt. mix well. Cover and cook for about 6 to 7 minutes. stirring occasionally till fully cooked.
  7. If needed you can sprinkle little water, if you want it to be mushy.
  8. Add grated coconut, coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix well and serve.
