How to make
- To begin making Puffed Rice Upma Recipe (Murmura Upma), place the puffed rice in a strainer and wash it under running water for 30 seconds and set aside on a bowl for all the excess water to drain out.
- Alternatively, if you like the upma crunchy you can directly add the puffed rice without washing it.
- Heat a heavy bottomed pan or kadai with a tablespoon of oil on medium flame.
- Once the oil heats up, add mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Add cumin seeds and peanuts and roast on medium heat until the raw peanuts get a roasted aroma and are crisp.
- Once the peanuts are roasted, add the ginger, onions, green chillies and curry leaves with a little salt and sauté until transparent. Add peas, turmeric powder, tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes are tender and soft.
- Stir in the Murmura (Puffed Rice), coriander leaves, lemon juice and stir everything together. Check the salt and spice, adjust to suit your taste and serve.
- Serve the Puffed Rice Upma for a quick and easy weekday breakfast or even as a tea time snack when you have some guests over
