Quick & Easy Foxtail Upma Thinai Upma

Foxtail Upma Thinai Upma

Ingredients

• 1 cup Thinai semiya (Foxtail Millet)

• 1 Onion

• 2 Green chilli

• ½ cup Carrot, beans, peas

• 1 teaspoon Ginger finely chopped

• Salt

To temper

• 2 teaspoon Oil

• ½ teaspoon Mustard

• 2 teaspoon Urad dal

• 2 teaspoon Chana dal

• 1 sprig Curry leaves

Prep:

1. Soak: Briefly immerse the Thinai Semiya in water for 3 minutes (check package instructions for specific times). Drain completely using a metal strainer. Don't over-soak, or it'll get mushy!

2. Steam: Cook the drained Semiya in an idli pot for 5 minutes. Once done, flip it onto a plate and fluff it up, then keep it covered.

Cook & Mix:

1. Heat: Heat oil in a pan and add the tempering ingredients. Fry until fragrant.

2. Sauté: Add ginger, onion, and green chilli. Cook until translucent.

3. Veggies (Optional): Add chopped vegetables and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes until the veggies are tender.

4. Season & Finish: Add more salt (to taste) and the cooked Semiya. Mix well for a minute. You can even add a drizzle of coconut oil for extra flavor (optional).

Tips:

• Don't over-soak or overcook the Semiya. Follow the instructions carefully for perfect texture.

• Feel free to skip the veggies for a simpler version, but adding them boosts the health factor!

• If adding salt after veggies, stir quickly before adding the Semiya for easier mixing.
