It's almost 3 months, since i posted a recipe here and it's time to give some attention to my little space. Due to hubby's job, two months before, we moved to Houston. Initially we stayed in hotel for almost a month and finally we found  a apartment and moved in. Starting from stratch, all over again in other country is bit difficult, but we managed well so far . 
And for the last 2 weeks i have been cooking  in the proper kitchen ,as of now, i cook simple meal nothing special.So here's the simple recipe for semiya upma and it's useful for the beginners and bachelors , not for the experts :-)

First roast the semiya with 1 tsp of oil till it's golden brown and keep it aside.Cut the onions into small pieces and slit the green chili into half.Heat the remaining 1 tsp of oil in the kadai and add mustard , once it splutters , add urad dal and channa dal, roast it for 30 sec.Then add the onion ,chili and curry leaves and saute till the onions become translucent.Add the water and salt , bring into boil.Add the roasted semiya and cover the kadai with lid and keep the flame in medium. Keep it covered for 4-5 mins or till the  semiya cooked.Finally add the grated coconut , give a good mix and switch off the flame.Tasty and Simple Semiya Upma is ready.
Notes:
  • Adjust the chili according to your taste.
  • I used MTR semiya here, as the pack suggests to roast the semiya before use. Normally i dont when i  use anil semiya variety.
  • If you wish, add few cilantro at the end.
  • You can add some veggies as per your liking. 
  • Even without roasting the semiya also, the upma would turned out wonderful.I have tried many times without roasting.
