Notes
- Don't fry or roast the semolina for and more than 3 minutes and keep stirring the semolina while frying for roasting continuously. If you are roasting semolina then the it could get burned really fast so keep stirring the semolina.
- When we add oil, cumin seeds, mustard seeds and ginger garlic paste, you can also add peanuts at the same time, so that it will get fried, if you like the fried taste of it.
- As while making Upma recipe you will have to add the 2 cup boiled water at the end, so you can add salt after adding 1 cup of water. It will make it easy for you to mix it properly.
- You can add cashews instead of peanuts if you like. If you are doing so then chop the cashews first in small pieces and then add it.
- You can also use cashews to garnish Upma.
