Ingredients:

1 teaspoon whole black mustard seeds

1/4 cup diced boiled carrots

1 teaspoon red chilli powder

10 curry leaves

1/4 cup boiled green peas

Kosher salt

1 small onion chopped (about 1/2 cup)

1 cup semolina flour

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil

2 1/4 cups water

2 small green chills split lengthwise

Equipment:

frying pan

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Place semolina in cast iron pan and cook over medium heat until toasty but not browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. 2 Return pan to medium heat and heat ghee or oil until shimmering. Add the mustard seeds and split black gram, stir until they splutter, about 30 seconds. Add the onion, fry until slightly soft, about a minute (take care not to brown). Add the slit chillis, curry leaves and stir until fragrant, about a minute longer. Add the carrots, peas, red chilli powder, and sugar, and stir until fragrant and the mixture is coated with the ghee/oil, about 1 minute. 3 Add toasted semolina and stir vigorously until the mixture resembles wet sand—about a minute. Add the salt and gently pour in the water. The semolina will bubble and spurt as it absorbs the water. Reduce heat to low. Allow this mixture to cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. The Upma absorbs water very quickly and tends to dry out too, so turn off the heat when the mixture is slightly runny. Serve immediately.

Food Trivia

A Victorian era nutritionist nicknamed the "Great Masticator" argued that food should be chewed about 100 times per minute before being swallowed.

If there were no food left, what could people do? Country people could eat their forest preserves and city people could have their traffic jams.
