I've always had an affinity for a well made Upma and as a kid polished off my breakfast real quick if it was upma. This is one dish which can be cooked up in a jiffy and can be made in so many ways. This time I tried this buttermilk upma recipe from Mahanandi and it turned out so tangy and tasty. Here is my version for the weekend brunch..
.
1. 1 cup sooji/upma rava/cream of wheat
2. 1.5 cups buttermilk and 1.5 cups water
3. 1 green chili finely chopped
4. 1 onion chopped
5. 2tbsp crushed green peas
6. Tadka: 2tbsp oil, rai, jeera, 1Tbsp chana dal, 1 red chili, hing, curry leaves, 1/4 cup cashew
.
.
Heat oil, add rai, jeera, chana dal & hing, let splutter.
Add curry leaves, red chili, cashew, green chili, onion & crushed peas, fry for a few minutes.
Add rava and saute well till you get a good aroma.
Once rava is roasted, add salt, buttermilk & water, stir well.
Cover & cook till buttermilk & water is absorbed.

We enjoyed this upma with fresh papaya for a refreshing weekend brunch :)

Tu kadhi tandula chya pitha chi ukad khalli ahes, ambat tak ghalun ? Mast ambat lagte tu kelelya upma sarkhi.
That looks like a neat idea!!! I add curd in the end when the upma is finally done, whisk it and then get it off the gas. This sounds cool too!!!
Lovely one....They are looking YUM!...Nice one......
Looks good Richa. There is only one kind of Upma I know. Buttermilk in Upma is definitely something diff, me thinks

My husband loves upma but i always put more water and it dosnt comeout well:( this time i will the measurements to the T and make it:) and putting butter milk adds the much needed zing to the upma,hahaha,fun it will be,let me try it right now,i have all the ingredients:)
nice idea to add buttermilk, i never tried that before...
I love upma for breakfast any day...your is definitely different...
oh!!! i must try this one then... although i have heard abt adding buttermilk when making upma... my hubby is an upma-o-holic. so got to try this one for him.
i can see trupti and musical going ga-ga over this one;)
Great looking upma. BTW, what gave that nice green color to upma? I've never used buttermilk in upma. will try this variation next time.
buttermilk upma is very new to me. will it not have sticky texture? looks great though.
Upma is so tasty, but something that is not that easy to get right (mine tends to get pretty clumpy and heavy). Can't wait to try this version!
looks tasty richa.
buttermilk in upma, that looks delicious. Will certainly try it soon...
Richa,
I love your blog. So much good vegetarian food. I actually love the name of your blog. Is it from that lesson in Bal Bharati? Anyway, this is a great blog.
Thanks for stopping by at my blog. Buttermilk Upma sounds very unique. I make upma often.. and this will be a nice change from my regular recipe. You have a wonderful site and what a nice name "As Dear as Salt"...
Looks lovely, and very healthy with the vegetables in it. In Kerala I always liked to eat upma with steamed banana. Well, I think actually they were more like plantains. Very nice, a sweet counterpart to spicy upma (I always put in lots of chillies!). Like others here, I often add yoghurt and water instead of buttermilk. You can see pictures of upma on my blog: http://mangosoup.blogspot.com/2009/08/semolina-upma.html
