Brinjal upma and Shira(sweet made of suji)

Brinjal Upma

Upma or uppittu could bemade of using many vegetables either  mixed vegetables or any one of the vegetable.

Here I have used only Brinjal.

For 4 to 5 servings

Preparation time 15 min 

cooking time 15 minutes

Ingredients

5 medium sized Brinjal which is chopped .

 Green chillies according to the spice you want 

Coriander leaves chopped about fist full

curry leaves few 

 200 grams of Rava which is roasted before 

Chana dal 2 teaspoons 

Asafetida pinch

Jeera and pepper powder 1:1 teaspoon

Mustard and cumin seeds about 2 teaspoons each.

(Optional)of about 100gms coconut grated

Take a kadai, add 1 tablespoon of mustard and cumin seeds, once they splutter add chana dal, curry leaves,  green chillies and asafoetida. 

Add Brinjal and leave it till it boils 

Add 1:1and a half cups of wayer shotwell that one is too true water.

Once it comes to boil add salt, jeera pepper powder

Once it comes to boil, add salt and suji, keep stirring and switch off the gas and 

 close the lid and leave it for 5 minutes.

Serve hot.....

 Sooji is a best combination for upma.

Halwa is always made of using white sugar but here I have used jaggery which give different taste.

 You need hundred grams of Charoti rava which is available as Bangalore Rava. Roast it in a medium flame.

 Take a kadai, take water 1:2 tablespoon of jaggery melted once it comes to boil add one teaspoon of cardamom powder 

 Once it starts leaving the edges, add little ghee and then switch off the stove and close the lid for few minutes and serve hot
